Newcastle are reportedly keen on signing Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe with Steve Bruce desperate to strengthen his squad before the start of the new season.
The Magpies, who finished 12th in the 2020-2021 campaign, are yet to bring in any new faces with the club still waiting on a decision from Arsenal over their approach for Joe Willock.
But Tuanzebe could become their first summer signing, according to The Telegraph.
United are edging closer to a deal for Real Madrid centre back Raphael Varane, which would see Tuanzebe fall further down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
