Newcastle United are ready to make a new offer for Lille defender Sven Botman.

Newcastle have already had one proposal of €35m turned down by LOSC, but are ready to try again, reports The Athletic.

Botman is tied to Lille until 2025 and was key to last season's championship triumph.

The Holland international is unsure about a move to Newcastle given their current relegation battle.

Newcastle made their first signing for the winter market today in Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier.
