According to Turkish Football, Newcastle are joined by Swansea and Leicester in a race to sign Anderlecht star Kara Mbodji.
In the summer, Mbodji rejected a move away from the Belgian League to pledge his future for the Belgian giants Anderlecht, signing a one-year contract extension.
The Senegalese defender was linked with a £10m move away and it is the same price yet again, with many Premier League clubs interested in his services, which include Newcastle, Swansea, Leicester, Crystal Palace and Brighton, who have all contacted the player through his agent, Edin Balkan.
In an interview with Turkish Football, Balkan said
Kara has attracted a lot of interest from Premier League sides, we held talks with representatives from those clubs in London last Sunday, There are six-seven clubs from the Premier League in talks but I can’t reveal the offers right now.
There is also interest from Italy and Spain while the big three in Turkey have also held talks. The next round of talks will Belgium we will have a better picture of what the near future holds for Kara.
