Newcastle are looking to sign Thomas Robert on a free transfer this summer.
According to Daily Mail, Newcastle have been considering a move for the player who has recently turned down a new three-year-deal from Montpellier.
The 19-year-old wants to play regular first-team football and that is the main reason why he has chosen to leave the French club.
It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can provide him with such assurances.
Thomas’ father played for the club between 2001 and 2005 and he could play a key role in convincing his son to move to Tyneside.
