Newcastle are interested in signing the Udinese midfielder Seko Fofana this summer.
According to a report from Calciomercato (translated by SportWitness), the Magpies have a concrete interest in the 24-year-old central midfielder.
Fofana has done well in Serie A this past season and he could prove to be a good addition to Benitez’s midfield.
Newcastle are expected to lose Hayden this summer and Fofana would be the ideal replacement.
The 24-year-old is blessed with good vision and flair. He will add a new dimension to Newcastle’s play.
Fofana is adept at threading in through balls behind the opposition defence.
