Strasbourg appear to be leading the race, having already submitted two offers for the forward, while the Magpies recent interest could complicate negotiations.

A decision on Mounguengue’s future is expected in the coming days as the player weighs up his options.

The Evry-Courcouronnes native enjoyed an outstanding campaign with PSG’s Under-19 side, scoring 21 goals and providing 12 assists in 35 appearances across all competitions. 

He also achieved a major milestone in May when he made his professional debut under head coach Luis Enrique.
