Atletico Madrid left-back Guilherme Siqueira is a target for Newcastle United.

The Evening Chronicle says the 29-year-old defender has played just seven games this season for the La Liga side and could be drafted in as cover for the Magpies.

United have altered their stance on signing defensive players in the January window following injuries to Paul Dummett and Kevin Mbabu.

The duo's injuries highlighted a weak spot in Steve McClaren's squad, and Newcastle are keen to ensure they are fully covered for the last 15 Premier League games of the season.
