Genoa right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy, valued near €20m, is attracting January interest from Newcastle, West Ham and Everton. Betting impact: odds for a Premier League move are likely to shorten — punters could back a midwinter transfer (market: Norton-Cuffy to Newcastle/West Ham) or adjust futures on suitors’ defensive lines and goal concessions after a potential signing.
Genoa full-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy emerges as January target for Premier League clubs
Top-flight interest builds
Genoa’s right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy has drawn reported interest from Premier League sides Newcastle, West Ham and Everton ahead of the January window. Serie A clubs including Juventus, Inter and Napoli have also been linked, placing the 14-cap England U21 international squarely on the market as clubs look to reinforce full-back options midseason.
Player background and transfer details
Norton-Cuffy moved to Genoa from Arsenal in summer 2024 in a deal reported at around €2m plus add-ons, with Arsenal retaining a percentage of any future sale. Genoa value the 21-year-old in the region of €20m and are understood to be open to offers in January.
Form, fitness and role this season
After early fitness issues, Norton-Cuffy has established himself as a regular starter, making 19 starts from 21 league fixtures this season. He has missed just one match through suspension and sat out the most recent game due to a muscular problem. His progress at club level has been matched by international pedigree at U21 level.
Why suitors are interested
Clubs targeting Norton-Cuffy will be looking for a dynamic right-back capable of contributing defensively and in transition. His age, international experience and steady run of Serie A starts make him an appealing midwinter addition for teams seeking depth and attacking width from full-back.
Genoa’s transfer record and January precedent
Genoa have a history of significant January sales, which could make the club receptive to a well-structured offer. That precedent — coupled with their current valuation — suggests negotiations could be straightforward if a Premier League side tables a competitive bid.
Betting implications and markets to watch
Punters should expect shortened odds on Norton-Cuffy completing a move to the Premier League before the window closes. Relevant markets to monitor include: player-to-join-specific-club (e.g., Norton-Cuffy to Newcastle), player to move in January, and markets tied to suitors’ defensive records (goals conceded or clean sheets after a signing). Injury updates will also influence markets and must be tracked closely.
What a move would mean for the interested clubs
A January signing would provide immediate cover and competition at right-back, potentially allowing managers to tweak systems that rely on attacking full-backs. For Newcastle, West Ham or Everton, adding Norton-Cuffy could be framed as short-term reinforcement with upside as a long-term option.
