According to reports from The Chronicle, Newcastle United are considering a move to sign Inter Milan winger Valentino Lazaro in the January transfer window.
The 23-year-old joined the Italian giants from Hertha Berlin for a transfer fee of €24 million (£20.43 million), but has failed to nail down a regular place at the San Siro this season under Antonio Conte.
The 26-times capped Austria international is a versatile attacking midfielder who can play across the pitch, and can also operate centrally.
In Italy, Alfredopedulla.com reports that the Magpies are in pole position to sign Lazaro.
