Newcastle explore deal for Bundesliga ace as Marc Guehi pursuit stalls

Newcastle are exploring a deal for RB Leipzig defender Mohamed Simakan according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.

It’s been a quiet summer for the Magpies, who have four points from their opening two Premier League games and they have yet to make what would be considered a statement signing.

Eddie Howe’s side have identified Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi as their main target, but have so far been unable to reach an agreement with the Eagles after having four bids rejected.
