Newcastle United are looking to improve their defensive unit this month and they have identified the Napoli full-back Faouzi Ghoulam as a target.
The 29-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the Italian club and he has played just three games for them this season.
Ghoulam needs to play more often at this stage of his career and a move to the Premier League could be ideal for him.
According to Le Buteur, Newcastle want to sign the player on a loan deal for the remainder of the season and they have already contacted his agent regarding a January transfer.
