# Newcastle scout Hassane Bande

Newcastle United reportedly sent scouts out to Belgium in order to keep tabs on KV Mechelen man Hassane Bande**.**

According to a report from Belgian news outlet [HLN](https://www.hln.be/sport/voetbal/belgisch-voetbal/kv-mechelen/psv-valencia-sevilla-half-europa-is-gek-van-bande~af64bb45/), the Magpies were amongst several top European clubs in attendance, but had their eyes closely fixed on Bande’s performance.

The youngster failed to disappoint, too. He netted in his side’s 2-0 win over KV Kortrijk at the weekend, as Mechelen picked up three points in the Juliper Pro League.

The 19-year-old, who predominantly operates on the wing, has been in excellent form for his side so far this season, and has cemented his place in the starting line-up.

Bande has scored a total of nine goals in all competitions already during the 2017/18 campaign, with six of those coming in his most recent seven Pro League outings.

Villarreal, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, Valencia and PSV Eindhoven were also reportedly looking at Bande.
