Olympique Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car is interesting Newcastle.

The Telegraph says Newcastle are keen on bringing Caleta-Car to Tyneside in the January transfer window.

The Croatian defender has fallen out of favour at Olympique Marseille since the start of the season and could be on his way to the Premier League.

The Magpies are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements with them currently languishing second bottom of the Premier League with the worst defensive record in the division.

The Toon have been linked with a move for England internationals Kieran Trippier and James Tarkowski ahead of the January transfer window opening.
