Malick Thiaw - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores goal in victory Thiaw scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Impact Thiaw sealed the win in the 78th minute by stabbing home after Bruno Guimaraes' corner caused a goalmouth scramble. Palace had defended well for long stretches, but they could not deal with the second phase of the set piece. Thiaw's finish removed the tension from the closing minutes and confirmed a 2-0 home win for the Magpies. The center-back was also impressive defensively, contributing 10 clearances, two blocks, and a season high five tackles, three of which were successful, to help Newcastle secure their first clean sheet since early November.

Maintains defensive role Thiaw has started the last 12 matches for his new team, cementing his place in the center of defense.

Impact Thiaw entered the lineup following Fabian Schar's mid-September injury and kept the role even after the latter came back. He has started 12 straight matches across all competitions, recording 55 clearances, 22 interceptions and 14 tackles, and attempting 10 shots from set pieces without finding the net.

Start includes defensive excellence Thiaw logged three interceptions, two clearances and one tackle won during Newcastle United's 2-0 win Sunday against Nottingham Forest.

Impact In between Aug. 15 and Sept. 14, the 2025-26 Premier League includes Thiaw's one appearance. It is not multiple because a then-relatively healthy Newcastle did not require him. But between September's second half and Saturday, a concussion affected Fabian Schar. In place of him, Newcastle used Thiaw. The healthy defender's post-injury stats include both 5.3 clearances per game and mostly clean sheets, defensive excellence.

Impact Thiaw will be part of the squad for Saturday's season opener against the Villains, just four days after joining the Magpies. The defender has trained well over the past two days and is fit to make his first appearance with his new club. That said, he will have to compete for a starting role under coach Eddie Howe, as Fabian Schar and Dan Burn are not easy to displace in central defense.

Completes Newcastle transfer Thiaw completed a transfer to Newcastle United from AC Milan, the club announced.

Impact Thiaw has been rumored for a move to Newcastle throughout the window and now gets his permanent move to England. The defender put together a solid campaign with AC Milan last season, making 22 appearances (19 starts) and keeping seven clean sheets. He should provide competition for the Newcastle backline, though he might not displace Fabian Schar or Dan Burn immediately. With Newcastle set to compete in four competitions Thiaw and Sven Botman both figure to get plenty of minutes in the coming season.

He has started in five of the last six matches, notching eight tackles (six won), four interceptions and 20 clearances, but the defensive hierarchies are still somewhat fluid in the back.

Own goal Saturday Thiaw generated an own goal and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Torino.

It was his fourth straight start after an injury, starting in 19 of his 21 appearances this season.

Wins two tackles against Verona Thiaw had two shots (zero on goal), two tackles (two won), one interception and one clearance in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Verona.

Impact Thiaw drew his second consecutive start, teaming up with Matteo Gabbia as Fikayo Tomori was suspended, and turned in a solid shift.

Registers six clearances in loss Thiaw generated one tackle (one won) and six clearances in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Feyenoord. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 51st minute.

Impact Thiaw started for the first time in a month and recorded six clearances during Wednesday's Champions League game. The defender began the season as a bench option before becoming a regular starter until mid-January when he suffered a thigh injury. He made his first start under new coach Sergio Conceicao but was unable to help the team gain an advantage before the second leg next Tuesday. Thiaw's next opportunity to feature will be Saturday against Verona in the league.

Doesn't feature versus Inter Thiaw (thigh) didn't play in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Inter.

Impact Thiaw was back on the bench, but the coach rolled with players more in form in a difficult match-up. He was starting over Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic before the injury, but it remains to be seen whether the hierarchies will change, as his teammates have been okay in relief.
