'Lucas will stay with Bayern' - Hernandez agent rubbishes Newcastle reports

Lucas Hernandez's agent says that the Bayern Munich defender won't be leaving the Bundesliga side despite reports linking the France international to Newcastle.

The 24-year-old was signed from Atletico Madrid last summer, making the move to Munich for an €80 million (£72m/$87m) fee.

That move came on the heels of a major injury, with Hernandez's medical with Bayern revealing damage to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
