Newcastle are reportedly interested in Kasim Nuhu after the defender won the Swiss title with Young Boys.
There is expected to be a mass exodus from Young Boys this summer after they ended Basel’s nine-year stranglehold on the Swiss Super League title.
The Bern-based club became the first side other than Basel to win the league since Zurich in 2009 and lifted the trophy for the first time themselves since 1986.
As a result there is significant interest in the players who helped them achieve the feat, with Swiss publication Blick reporting that Leicester City and Southampton have already taken a look at Roger Assale, who scored 21 goals in 47 games in all competitions in 2017/18.
Manager Adi Hutter has left to take charge at Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, while at least six more from the squad could be on their way out of the Stade de Suisse.
The Ghana international joined Young Boys from Mallorca in 2016, but went back on loan to the Spanish team in 2016/17 before returning to Switzerland and impressing this term.
