Newcastle, West Ham and Everton queue up for €20m-rated Genoa full-back

Newcastle, West Ham and Everton are among the Premier League clubs interested in picking up Genoa right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy in January, who is reportedly valued in the region of €20m by his current employers in Serie A. 

Newcastle, Everton, West Ham all interested in Norton-Cuffy

Norton-Cuffy joined Genoa from Arsenal in the summer of 2024, signing in a deal reported to be worth €2m plus bonuses and add-ons. The Gunners are also entitled to a percentage of Norton-Cuffy’s next transfer fee. 

Injuries and fitness issues impacted his first few months in Serie A, but he has since gone on to establish himself as a first-team regular, having started in 19 out of 21 league matches for Genoa so far this season. He has only missed one game through suspension and the most recent match due to a muscular injury. 

Norton-Cuffy’s performances this season have begun to attract the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Italy, and now a collection in the Premier League as well according to Monday’s reports. 

According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, West Ham, Newcastle and Everton are all interested in a potential January deal for Norton-Cuffy, a 14-time England U21 international. This adds to reported interest from the likes of Juventus, Inter and Napoli. 

Genoa are said to value Norton-Cuffy in the region of €20m, and are understood to be open to the idea of selling him in January. 

Of the top 10 all-time most expensive Serie A during the January transfer window, Genoa feature three times with their sales of Krzystof Piatek to Milan, Nicolo Rovella to Juventus and Radu Dragusin to Tottenham Hotspur.
