Newcastle United have been linked with a summer move for former Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore.
The 24-year-old Burkino Faso international has been at Lyon for three years, following his Stamford Bridge exit.
Traore, capped 54 times by his country after making his debut at just 15, previously had loan spells with Vitesse Arnhem and Ajax.
And according to Foot Mercato, Magpies could make a move if the Saudi takeover goes ahead.
Traore signed his first professional contract with Chelsea at 18 in 2013 and scored four goals in 16 first-team appearances in all competitions.
