Newcastle are interested in Montpellier striker Stephy Mavididi.

Former Arsenal starlet Mavididi has earned rave reviews at Montpellier this season with six goals and three assists in 18 Ligue 1 games.

And the 23-year-old is being looked at by Newcastle, Brighton and Crystal Palace as they look to bolster their attacking options this month, says the Daily Mail.

His younger brother, Shaun, is already at Newcastle so that could improve their chances.

Former England Under 20 international Mavididi is valued around £15million and he would boost any English side's homegrown quota due to his time at Arsenal.
