Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is said to be interested in defender Steven Caulker.
Newcastle are said to be looking for another centre-back, as Steve Bruce aims to strengthen his backline.
It is now claimed that Caulker could be a shock late target for the Magpies.
But Newcastle supporters are far from keen on the idea that they will go for Caulker, who is now playing for Alanyaspor.
Caulker has had to go abroad to recover his career, after hitting difficulties in England.
The former England international was once regarded as a top talent, but he has failed to really fulfil the potential that he showed at a young age.
The Mirror claims that Caulker would cost £2 million, which means that he could be a cheap buy for Newcastle, if he was to join.
Caulker would be in competition with the likes of Federico Fernandez, Fabian Schar and Florian Lejuene if he did arrive at Newcastle.
