Newcastle United reportedly want to sign Ibrahim Sangare this summer.
It has been reported that Newcastle scouts have been looking at Sangare for 18 months.
Toulouse had put a value of £22 million on the 22-year-old midfielder, but after being relegated from Ligue 1 and due to him out of contract next summer, they will have to sell for a reduced price, according to the report.
The Express has claimed that Newcastle wanted to sign Sangare in the January transfer window, but the Magpies decided against making a move because of the prospect of overpaying for him.
The report has added that the Ivory Coast international midfielder dreams of playing in the Premier League.
