Newcastle, West Ham eyeing Wolfsburg defender Maxence Lacroix

VfL Wolfsburg defender Maxence Lacroix is interesting Newcastle United and West Ham United.

Jeunes Footeux says Lacroix is a potential Newcastle target.

The hot-tempered centre-back has received three red cards in the Bundesliga this season - more than any other player.

Despite this, Lacroix remains a target for several European clubs, with West Ham the main Premier League competitor. His current Wolfsburg deal has three years left to run, meaning Newcastle will have to stump up a sizable fee.

The 6ft 3in defender is renowned for his pace - an attribute the Toon backline has lacked in recent times.
