Newcastle United are moving for Sampdoria defender Omar Colley.

TMW says Newcastle have been watching Colley this season and have seen enough to kickoff talks about a January deal.

A Newcastle delegation are expected in Genoa this week to open talks with Samp about a fee for Colley.

For his part, the stopper would be keen on a move to England.

Gambia international Colley is in second season with Samp after joining from Genk.
