Newcastle United are scouting Rennes winger Jeremy Doku.
Chronicle Live says Doku has been on United's radar before but the £22million rated 19-year-old, who has suffered with both knee and hamstring injuries is being monitored by head of recruitment Steve Nickson and his scouting team.
The Rennes star has 10 Belgium caps and two goals to his name at international level and has been tracked by Liverpool in recent seasons.
Doku can play either left-wing or right-wing and worked under former Newcastle star Craig Bellamy at Anderlecht, where he made a positive impression.
Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze is also being linked with a £45million move to Tyneside today.
