Fofana could be one of the foundation stones of the new Newcastle

Since the change of ownership of Newcastle United and the modification of its previous status to that of one of the richest clubs in the world, there have been no end of names for a new squad that could begin to be put together in the coming winter transfer window.

Leicester defender Wesley Fofana could be one of the Magpies' first targets. According to 'RMC Sport', the club are preparing an offer to put on the table in January.

Newcastle have already been in contact with the player's representatives, who has a contract with the Foxes until 2025 and is currently suffering from a leg injury from which he is expected to recover at the beginning of 2022.

Following his time at Saint-Etienne, the defender joined Leicester for the 2020-21 season, making a total of 38 appearances. His role in England led to him being linked with Real Madrid last summer.
