Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is on the shopping list of Newcastle United's new owners.

The Sun says Koulibaly is emerging as a January target for the Toon.

Koulibaly has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, where the price used to be over €100m, but it has dropped significantly over the last year to €60m.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis made it clear he was prepared to sell Koulibaly over the summer, but nobody was able to come up with a realistic transfer proposal.

Newcastle are ready to move for the Senegal international in January.
