Newcastle United have been given a boost in their pursuit of Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Magpies are interested in bringing the Senegal defender to St. James' Park, backed by the money of prospective Saudi owners.

And Sky Sports says Koulibaly wouldn't be against a move to Tyneside.

Manchester United, PSG and Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on the 28-year-old.
