Francois Kamano is attracting attention from Newcastle United scouts.
According to the Chronicle, Newcastle United have been heavily scouting Francois Kamano this season.
Newcastle are on the look out for attacking additions in January, and Rafael Benitez has been keen to scour the European market.
Ligue 1 has been scouted extensively, with Kamano reportedly on their radar.
The winger has been in wonderful form for Bordeaux, and he has threatened defences across France’s top tier.
Kamano has seven goals to his name in just 13 Ligue 1 games, with his price-tag seemingly rising by the game.
Benitez would have to be backed with funds to get Kamano, but if he could secure the signing of the 22-year-old it would be exciting for Newcastle.
The Magpies have failed to find a real goalscorer, but Kamano’s threat from out wide could give them a different dimension over the second half of the season.
And that could be crucial as Newcastle look to put further distance between themselves and the relegation zone.
