Newcastle United are closely watching Lens superstar Seko Fofana.
The midfielder is attracting interest from clubs around Europe after his impressive displays in Ligue 1 this term.
Fofana, who recently won Ligue 1 player of the month, could even move in the January transfer window.
According to Foot Mercato, the 26-year-old is wanted by Newcastle, and they hope to sign him as soon as possible.
However, the source claims that Lens are reluctant to lose him mid season, and it would take a significant financial offer to tempt them into a sale.
