Newcastle United are interested in Lens striker Ignatius Ganago.
Foot Mercato says Newcastle are keen to sign the youngster this month, with Ganago currently away with Cameroon for the African Cup of Nations.
The 19 year-old has scored three goals from seven starts for Lens this season.
While Newcastle has already contacted the entourage of the player, under contract at Lens until 2024, no communication has yet been established between the two clubs.
For their part, Lens will be reluctant sellers.
