Newcastle United are reportedly interested in Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha and could land a cut-price deal in January, with his contract expiring next summer.
The Magpies - who appointed Eddie Howe as their new boss this week - are gearing up for a big transfer window after being taken over by the Saudi-led Public Investment Fund, and the new man in charge is expected to have significant funds to bolster his squad and clear the team away from danger.
One particular target is in goal to provide competition for Karl Darlow, and the club are keeping tabs on Lazio's Strakosha, according to the Sun, who should represent a bargain despite the owners' huge wealth.
