Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is eager to find a new centre-half in January.

The Daily Mail says Howe has presented targets that include his former Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly, who he signed for £13million from Bristol City in 2019. The 23-year-old has also attracted interest from Liverpool.

Borussia Monchengladbach and Germany centre-back Matthias Ginter - out of contract in the summer - has been mentioned, while Joe Rodon of Spurs is another defensive option.

It is thought a move for Lille's Sven Botman, while ambitious, would be difficult considering the likely competition.

Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has also been discussed.
