Newcastle United are now reportedly facing competition from Southampton for Wylan Cyprien.
L’Equipe reported in September that Newcastle are interested in signing Cyprien from Nice in the summer transfer window.
However, The Sun has now claimed that the Magpies’ Premier League rivals Southampton are considering making a move for the attacking midfielder.
It has been reported by the British tabloid that the Saints want to sign the 25-year-old attacking midfielder on loan, but they also have an alternative in Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
It now remains to be seen which club the attacking midfielder joins before the summer transfer window closes on Monday.
