Newcastle United are interested in signing Seven Botman who is currently on the books of French side Lille, according to reports.
The 21-year-old started the first nine matches for the Mastiffs this season. However, a groin injury kept him out of the team during October and November.
He returned to the side in their 2-1 victory over Rennes earlier this December.
The young centre-back joined the French outfit in the summer of 2020 from Ajax in a deal worth around €8 million.
The Dutch footballer played an important role last season to help Lille to the Ligue 1 title.
