Jonathan Bamba is the latest winger to be linked with Newcastle United.
According to a report in Foot Francais the St Etienne man is under consideration as Rafa Benitez attempts to fill a priority position.
The 21-year-old helped unfashionable Angers SCO to reach the final of the French Cup last season before returning to St Etienne.
With 12 months left on his contract there are doubts over whether he will play a game for Les Verts with Werder Bremen and Newcastle showing interest with other French clubs also keeping tabs.
Newcastle are deep in talks with Norwich over signing Jacob Murphy but are keeping all options open as Rafa Benitez seeks to strengthen his squad for the return of Premier League football.
St Etienne would love to hold on to Bamba but if there is an offer on the table from Newcastle or Werder they may be forced to cash in and sell the 21-year-old.
