According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Jetro Willems is desperate to return to Newcastle United ahead of next month’s winter transfer window, while PAOK left-back Dimitris Giannoulis is set to be offered to the club once more.
Newcastle made contact with PAOK and the player’s representatives during the summer transfer window, but it isn’t certain if an official bid was lodged.
The £5 million-rated Greek international was also offered to the likes of Watford and Marseille, and while Newcastle are in the market for a new left-back, head coach Steve Bruce isn’t as convinced as his recruitment team when it comes to signing him.
