Why should Ahmed Hegazi go to Newcastle instead of Brighton this summer

West Brom and Egypt defender Ahmed Hegazi has been a Newcastle and Brighton target this summer. The Magpies manager Rafa Benitez must better his squad when compared to last season. The Egyptian defender was one of the standout performers for the Baggies in their collective flop-show, which saw them get relegated to Championship football.

Newcastle are in the market for a new centre-back to cover up for the loss of Florian Lejeune, whose injury will keep him out of the action until 2019. Getting Hegazi will be a decent move for the club and the player, who must be eager to continue playing Premier League football.

Here’s why Hegazi should move to Newcastle this summer and enhance his reputation in the English top-flight:

Manager attraction

Rafa Benitez is an experienced manager with plenty of experience of winning big things and getting the best of his players. The Spaniard has done the latter with great effect at Newcastle, where first he took a mediocre (with all due respect) squad to the Premier League and then lead them to a top-half finish in top-flight football. Long story short, Benitez has done a miracle at St James’ Park with a negligible net spend and almost no support from the owners.

Any player who is striving to improve and play his best game should be eager to play under a manager like him. So, Hegazi must join Newcastle and enhance his overall gameplay to uplift his prominence in world football. The Egyptian should get attracted by the prospect of playing under a man who has won European competitions in the past and is doing well at his current club.

Conclusion

Benitez is undoubtedly an attraction for many players who want to lift their game and play to their full potential. Hegazi is a decent centre-back who has the talent to become one of the colossals of the game. He probably needs good coaching and man-management to let him play to the fullest. For that reason, moving to Newcastle will make complete sense for the 27-year-old.

For Newcastle as well, Hegazi will be the right replacement for Lejeune. Signing the Egyptian will ensure that the club are well-prepared for the challenge ahead.
