The Ukraine international has not been a regular in Pep Guardiola's side recently, but he has been a valuable member of the City squad in the past.

According to the Northern Echo, Newcastle is eyeing Zinchenko as a way to offer new manager Eddie Howe a large sum of money with which to make squad changes in January.

Newcastle would be taking a risk by signing Zinchenko, as convincing the 24-year-old to leave one of the Premier League's primary championship contenders for a team likely to be fighting relegation would be difficult.

A versatile talent like Zinchenko, who can play left-back, wing-back, or even midfield, would be a great addition for the Magpies.
