Mercato 365 claim Newcastle sent scouts to watch Francois Kamano during Bordeaux’s clash with Dijon at the weekend.
The match finished 0-0, but all eyes were on Kamano during the encounter.
It seems as though the Magpies aren’t the only team interested in signing the 22-year-old however, with numerous European clubs sending officials to report back on his performance.
The same Mercato 365 report claims Atletico Madrid were in attendance, along with Premier League rivals Burnley and Crystal Palace. In addition, Milan, Atalanta, and Hanover all instructed scouts to keep an eye on Kamano at the fixture, meaning Bordeaux won’t be short of potential suitors for their young forward.
Joining his current club from Bastia in 2016, Kamano has made 89 appearances at the Matmut Atlantique since being welcomed in the door.
The Guinean international has scored eight goals in 17 appearances so far this season, a return worthy of the attention he is currently receiving.
With 23 Guinea caps, Kamano can also boast a strong international pedigree for a player of his age.
