Newcastle United are now in pole position to sign the Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe.
The 23-year-old is expected to leave Old Trafford after the arrival of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid and the Chronicle are reporting that the player is delighted with the interest from the Magpies.
Tuanzebe needs to play regular first-team football in order to fulfil his potential and a move to St James’ Park could provide him with the platform he needs right now. The defender made just 9 appearances in the Premier League last season.
