Newcastle are interested in signing the Amiens defender Emil Krafth this summer.
According to Sky Sports, the 24-year-old is a target for Steve Bruce and the Magpies might have submitted a £5.5m bid for him.
There is no doubt that Newcastle’s defence needs improving and it will be interesting to see if they can get the Krafth deal over the line now.
The 24-year-old is talented and he could prove to be a valuable option for Bruce next season.
The report of a bid could be genuine considering the fact that other sources are now claiming it too.
