Newcastle are thought to be interested in the Real Valladolid defender Mohamed Salisu this summer.
As per Eldesmarque (via Sportwitness), the Premier League side have been the most insistent on signing him.
Salisu has done well in La Liga this season and he could be a solid addition to Steve Bruce’s back four.
Newcastle need reinforcements all across the pitch but they need to tighten up at the back first. The likes of Fernandez will be past their peak soon.
A young centre back like Salisu would be the ideal partner for Lascelles and Schar.
