Newcastle Makes Aladji Bamba Loan Decision Amid Conflicting Reports

Newcastle United reportedly has no plans to send Aladji Bamba out on loan in January, despite recent suggestions that a temporary move could help the £30 million summer signing find regular senior minutes. The Daily Mail’s Craig Hope reported that Bamba is expected to remain on Tyneside through the winter window after playing only 27 minutes since arriving from Monaco. “One player who almost certainly won’t come in for a start is Aladji Bamba, although we are told he will NOT be going out on loan in January,” Hope wrote.
