Newcastle United are eyeing a January move for Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba.

The Magpies are set to reinforce the squad after their takeover by a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium.

Newcastle are turning their attention to central midfielder Nakamba, per Football Insider.

The 27-year-old is not indispensable to Villa, but they will ask for at least £15 million for his services.

Toon are set to be one of the busiest clubs in January, as they flex their financial muscle and attempt to avoid relegation to the Championship.
