Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez is looking to improve his side’s defence this summer and the Spaniard has identified Eibar’s Florian Lejeune as a target according to Cadena Ser.
The 26-year-old centre-back was outstanding in La Liga last year and he was instrumental in securing a top half finish for Eibar.
Lejeune was linked with the likes of Spurs and Arsenal as well but it seems that Newcastle are the one who are more serious about signing him.
The Frenchman has a £8.7m release clause and according to Cadena Ser, Newcastle are looking to negotiate a deal for the player.
