Newcastle United have been heavily linked with a move to sign Kevin Malcuit from Saint-Etienne this summer.
The Magpies, and particularly West Ham, have been touted with interest in the promising full-back. Both clubs appear to be targeting both right and left-backs this summer as they look to bolster the weaker areas in their squad.
Newcastle currently have a shortage in quality at right-back, with Jesus Gamez and DeAndre Yedlin the only two options. So, it’s somewhat unsurprising to see the Magpies being linked with a plethora of full-backs in recent times.
However, if they are to land the 25-year-old from Saint-Etienne, they will need to cough up a fairly large fee.
L’Equipe, as cited in a report from HITC, are claiming that the Ligue 1 side are to demand £8.8m for Malcuit this summer as interest builds.
The report also implies that the defender would be interested in a move to the Premier League in the near future.
