Newcastle United is one of several clubs interested in signing Everton and France left-back Lucas Digne. Toffees manager Rafael Benitez has dropped the 28-year-old, and a sale would provide vital funds. With the arrival.
Newcastle United Wants Lucas Digne
The club has already signed a new left-back in Vitaliy Mykolenko, which means Digne will suffer playing time. Lucas Digne might be the next player Newcastle United will sign after the signing of Kieran Tripper. Newcastle is not the only club as other English Premier League clubs and Italian clubs have shown interest in the player, some preferring a loan. Still, Everton is keener on a sale to boost their buying options.
Benitez is also interested in signing Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff, who he worked with while Magpies manager. The 24-year-old has six months left on his contract. The move for Longstaff could help in a potential Digne swap, but it is not known if the left-back would be keen on a move to a relegation-threatened side.
