Premier League outfit Newcastle United are reportedly looking to raid Juventus and PSG in the January transfer window.

Rafa Benitez is thinking outside of the box in an attempt to bring new forwards to Newcastle United in the January transfer window.

And, according to The Chronicle, The Magpies have been keeping a close eye on Juventus forward Moise Kean ahead of a potential loan bid.

The 18-year-old is one of the most promising young forwards in European football and became the first player born in the 21st century to score in one of the continent’s top five leagues. But Kean’s progress has stalled at Juve thanks to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala in attack.

As a result, The Chronicle adds that Kean’s agent, the outspoken Mino Raiola, is looking to take his client away from the Serie A champions though Juve’s sporting director Fabio Paratici is understood to have snubbed all offers so far.

The report adds that Newcastle have also spoken to Portuguese giants Benfica and are looking at a number of options in Spain and France too with Benitez also hoping to sign a winger and a full-back this month.

PSG’s highly-rated left-back Stanley N’Soki, who was a target in the summer, is understood to be on Benitez’s wish list again.
