Newcastle United are poised to pounce for Marseille star Boubacar Kamara in January and scupper Manchester United's plans on signing the young Frenchman for free next summer, according to reports.
United's interim boss Ralf Rangnick is reportedly a keen admirer of the Frenchman and is hoping to tempt him to Old Trafford, but the Red Devils are understood to be waiting until the summer when he is available for free.
And Marca reports that Newcastle are primed to make a move for Kamara next month, suggesting that Eddie Howe's side are preparing a £10million offer for the versatile centre back previously linked with Wolves.
