Newcastle United will have scouts watching the Champions League clash between Club Brugge and AS Monaco tonight.
According to Belgian outlet HLN, as cited on Sport Witness, the Premier League side will be in attendance to keep a close eye on the encounter, but it is unclear at this stage who it is they will be watching.
The report claims that Newcastle were linked with Brugge’s Anthony Limbombe in the summer, meaning he could once again be the reason for their visit.
United are in desperate need of reinforcements in the January window, with the Magpies sitting at the foot of the Premier League.
After a poor summer window, Rafa Benitez will be fully aware that he needs to add to his squad to avoid relegation once again this year.
The club’s success during the January window last season is viewed as one of the major factors in their ability to stay in the top flight, following deals to sign the likes of Kenedy and Martin Dubravka in the new year.
