# Newcastle set to miss out on N’Soki – are they making a mistake?

Newcastle look like they could be about to miss out on a deal to sign Stanley N’Soki, are the club making a mistake that they could live to regret?

[Get French Football News claim](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2019/exclusive-newcastle-stanley-nsoki-contract-discussions-at-breaking-point/) that a deal is at ‘breaking point’ with Newcastle unable to agree personal terms with the defender, despite having an €11 million bid accepted.

N’Soki is a highly-rated young French defender and Newcastle would rue the chance to get a deal over the line.

The left-back position has been one that the club have been aiming to strengthen for some time and they may struggle to land an alternative target for a similar price.

Arriving from Paris Saint-Germain, N’Soki could be a long-term option while also being a player that could potentially be sold for huge profits later down the line.

Newcastle would be landing a very talented youngster and should be doing all they can to get a deal over the line before it is too late.
