Report: Newcastle United keen on Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez

According to Bild, Newcastle United are planning to lure Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez to St. James’ Park this summer, with their prospective £300 million takeover set to hugely boost their transfer coffers.

The France international, a key player for the side at the Russia 2018 World Cup, is out of favour at the Bundesliga side, featuring in just 14 games this term.

Despite being able to play at both left-back and centre-back, the forms of Alphonso Davies and David Alaba in the respective positions have limited Hernandez’s playing chances, and a summer exit could be on the cards.
