Agent admits Lille defender Botman likely to choose between AC Milan and Newcastle

The agent of Lille defender Sven Botman admits he's likely to leave for AC Milan or Newcastle this summer.

Botman confirmed contact from both clubs in January.

“One of Sven's greatest strengths is that he is always very certain in the decisions he makes, so he doesn't let himself get conditioned and above all has real courage," agent Nikkie Bruinenberg told Voetbal International.

“Sven isn't afraid to take a risk. I am sure that he will make the right decision over the summer. Milan and Newcastle are both big clubs."

He added: "We mustn't make the mistake of thinking Newcastle would only be an economic choice. They are starting to create a good project there, while Milan are a very prestigious club."
