Newcastle United eye Mouctar Diakhaby

This summer, Newcastle United is one of the teams interested in Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby.
Newcastle United's pursuit of Mouctar Diakhaby has got a boost, according to an exclusive report from AS. The defender is one of the leading contenders to leave Valencia this summer, with the club eager to approve his exit to create room for new arrivals.
Diakhaby is serious about progressing in his career and is keen on a move to the Premier League. Newcastle United is the major team interested in his services, but Leicester City is also interested, however, neither club has made an official bid for him yet.
The Frenchman has now made almost 100 competitive appearances for the club in only three years. However, with Valencia looking to improve their team before the conclusion of the transfer season, the defender's future is in doubt, providing Newcastle United with the ideal chance to make a late move for him.
The Magpies are one of the few English clubs that hasn't reached the end of their transfer window. Former Liverpool ace Ozan Kabak, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Anfield before returning to FC Schalke, has been linked with a transfer to Steve Bruce's side.
