Newcastle United are seriously interested in signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.

The Magpies are in a tough situation in terms of FFP, while Everton also have financial problems.

Per The Telegraph, Newcastle are ready to sell fringe players to fund a spending spree.

The source adds that while the Magpies want to sign Onana, the two clubs are far apart in terms of valuation.

Everton value Onana at around £50 million, while Newcastle would want to pay slightly over half that sum.

A deal getting done in January appears unlikely, given Everton's relegation danger, but a summer move could be possible.
