Accorrding to reports in France, Newcastle are showing serious interest in Rennes wonderkid Désiré Doue.
This comes from Media Foot, who state we are ‘ready’ to make a move for the highly-rated forward after ‘becoming accustomed’ to watching him in action for the Ligue 1 side.
At just 17-years-old, the teenager has already made 16 senior appearances this season – five of which have come in the Europa League – and is now a regular in France’s Under-19 set up.
After our successful move for Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon, the Magpies are clearly very excited about the French market and will look for more talent in the division in the coming weeks.
We have been in the market for a new midfielder in recent weeks and Doue would certainly fit the bill for our long-term plan after already signing youngsters like Garang Kuol.
In the report, Newcastle have been described as being ‘present and ready’ to make a bid for the attacking midfielder very soon, so he could definitely be one to watch in the January window.
