Livramento is one for the future, despite the fact that some might disagree that Eddie Howe placed a high importance on having a back-up right-back given the FFP issues that restrict how money can be spent.
Hailed as “excellent” by Gareth Southgate prior to his injury and someone Chelsea were reportedly keen to bring back, it seems Newcastle have quite the player on their hands.
Indeed, one big name European star has taken notice.

After signing his five-year contract, the England U21 international took to Instagram to celebrate.
As you can imagine, his post was swamped by former teammates congratulating him on the move.
A certain Jamal Musiala took note. The German international played with Livramento at Chelsea’s youth academy and commented two love hearts, underling how big players around Europe are taking notice.
Meanwhile, Livramento has already spoken on how he wishes to learn from Trippier and is reportedly happy to operate in a back-up role while he works his way back up to full fitness.
