Newcastle to Battle Sevilla in the Race to Sign French Winger in Bargain Winter Transfer

French U21 international Jonathan Bamba is looking to secure a move away from AS Saint-Étienne, after a stunning start to the season has seen interest in the 21-year-old skyrocket ahead of the January transfer window, according to Le10Sport.

LOSC Lille appear to be the frontrunners in France in the race for his signature, while Sevilla and Newcastle are interested in taking the young forward to Spain and England respectively.

Bamba will see his contract at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard expire next summer and a number of clubs across Europe are hoping they can convince the winger, who can also be played as a striker, of leaving Saint-Étienne in January for a cut-price.
