The latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Monday, April 25.
Interest in Fofana ramps up
A name that was linked with Newcastle United back in January is doing the rounds again ahead of an expected summer move. Seko Fofana, an Ivory Coast international, currently plays for Lens in France's Ligue 1, but not for much longer according to French website butfootballclub.fr.
Twenty-six-year-old Fofana has got nine goals in 37 appearances this season. As a result he is being targeted by Marseille, Lyon, possibly AC Milan, and some English clubs too.
The website, translated by Google, wrote: "Seko Fofana also has several courtiers in the Premier League, where Newcastle was already manifested last January. The Magpies remain in line, but other English teams are also on the trail of the native of Paris. "
The other Premier League names involved, according to the article, are Aston Vila, Leicester City and Spurs.

Newcastle linked to Navas
Spanish website fichajes.net claims that Newcastle United are one of three options for forlorn Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas. The 35-year-old has only played intermittently this season due to Gianluigi Donnarumma, only 23 years old, starting to nab his spot.
The Costa Rican won the Champions League three times with Read Madrid before he moved to his current club. According to the report, three clubs are options for him right now: Juventus, Seville and Newcastle.
The website's reasoning, as translated by Google, was fairly vague though: "The mega project of the English team is still in its initial stage, and after the winter signings of Trippier or Bruno Guimaraes, reinforcing the goal is one of the great priorities for Eddie Howe, with the Costa Rican goalkeeper having assured ownership as well as a good salary given the economic potential of the whole of Britain."
Don't hold your breath.
Boro still tracking Darlow
With rumours of an incoming goalkeeper for Newcastle ramping up, the attention of the Sun newspaper was on Karl Darlow this weekend. The 31-year-old has only had a handful of appearances this season, with Martin Dubravka being favoured, and apparently Middlesbrough are still a possible destination for him this summer.
It is not a new rumour, but the newspaper said Boro are tracking Darlow while also keeping an eye on Leicester's Daniel Iversen, who has been on loan at Preston. Iversen is only 24 years old.
