If Newcastle United still want Stanley Nsoki this summer, they could be in luck.

The France U21 international has earned rave reviews for his impressive mature performances at Paris Saint-Germain in the last year and a half, making 12 appearance as Thomas Tuchel’s side sealed yet another Ligue 1 title recently.

But according to Le Parisien, PSG will need to sell a number of fringe players this summer to avoid falling foul of Financial Fair Play regulations.

Thomas Meunier, Chrstopher Nkunku and Grzegorz Krychowiak are all up for sale – as is Nsoki. What’s more the versatile defender is available for as little as £8.5 million. Even Newcastle can surely afford to pay that.

The Chronicle broke the news in August 2018 that Newcastle were after Nsoki, who was keen on a move to the Premier League and had rejected a number of contract offers at the Parc des Princes.

Flash forward to January and La Provence reported that PSG had rejected an offer from the Magpies.

Although it seems that things have changed four months on. The dominant force in French football are ready to sell and, for £8.5 million, Newcastle could finally solve their left-back problem.
