Newcastle United are considering the signing of AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.

The Chronicle suggests the Turkish star is a target for the Premier League team.

Calhanoglu is often compared to Mesut Ozil because of his style and creativity.

Newcastle scouts have been watching the player, but he has been below par this term.

Calhanoglu has one assist and five goals this term in 25 games.

He had 13 assists last term, which is where Newcastle see his real level.
