According to reports from The Chronicle, Newcastle have been presented an opportunity to sign Philipp Max from Bundesliga side Augsburg.
Signing a left-back has been a priority for the Magpies this summer, and the report claims that the 25-year-old has been ‘pushed forward’ to the Tyneside club as a potential option.
Newcastle have been recently linked with a move for Tottenham’s Danny Rose, which is another indication that the Magpies are desperate to land a solid left-back this summer.
Max is an attacking-minded full-back who provides pace on the flanks.
