After multiple failed attempts to sign Sven Botman from Lille in the January transfer window, Newcastle United are already in discussions to secure his services ahead of a summer move.
The Netherlands under-21 international was the north east club’s top centre-back target last month but a move failed to materialise after the Ligue 1 club insisted on playing hard ball.
The Magpies had a bid in the region of £50m rejected, before they eventually gave up on the situation and signed Dan Burn from Brighton & Hove Albion instead.
