Sparta Prague winger Ladislav Krejcí wants a move to Newcastle United.

The Evening Chronicle says Newcastle also want to sign a defender and winger and have been credited with an interest in Sparta Prague's £5million-rated Czech Republic wide man Krejci.

Former Toon goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek revealed: “We have talked about the Newcastle interest and there may be something there.

“Krejci is a left winger and a very, very good player.

“The season before last he was absolutely fantastic – maybe last year he needed to do a little bit better but the whole team was not at its best."
