Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez is still looking to bolster his back line this summer, and has identified Fabian Schar as his latest target.
It’s been another frustrating transfer window for Benitez, who has found himself limited by the Magpies' financial constraints. Ki Sung-yueng and Martin Dubravka are their only signings so far - the former coming in on a free transfer - with Benitez still keen on a centre-half, a winger and a striker.
Benitez has turned his attention to Schar, who is believed to be actively seeking a move away Deportivo La Coruña after the Spanish club were relegated last season.
