Newcastle are keen on signing the Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare this summer.
As per Sport, the Premier League side were very close to signing him during the January transfer window and they have not given up on the chase yet.
Soumare is a prodigious talent and it would be a significant coup for Newcastle if they manage to sign him this time.
Steve Bruce could use a technically gifted midfielder like him and he would improve Newcastle a lot.
The 21-year-old can play as a defensive midfielder as well as a central midfielder.
