Newcastle reportedly join Tottenham Hotspur in Benoit Badiashile race

Newcastle United have reportedly joined Tottenham Hotspur in the race for AS Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile.

Earlier this month, Football Insider reported of interest in the 19-year-old defender from Tottenham.

The report claimed that Spurs are among a number of clubs who have asked to be kept informed of the teenager’s situation.

RMC Sport has now reported of Newcastle’s interest in the defender, and has claimed that the Magpies could make a move for the youngster once Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, have bought the club from current owner Mike Ashley.
