Newcastle United, Southampton and Huddersfield Town reportedly want Anthony Limbombe of Club Brugge in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle United and Southampton are ready to make moves for Club Brugge attacker Anthony Limbombe after his transfer to Huddersfield Town broke down, according to The Sun.

The British tabloid has claimed that Limbombe has failed to agree a deal with Huddersfield, despite the Premier League club holding talks over a £11 million transfer with Brugge.

The report has stated that Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez and Southampton boss Mark Hughes could now make moves for the 24-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as a forward.

Good singing for a Premier League club?

Limbombe is a good attacking player, and his versatility also means that he would be an asset for Newcastle or Southampton.

However, the Magpies may not be able to or willing to cough up the £11 million transfer fee that may be needed to secure the services of the Belgium international.

Both Newcastle and Southampton struggled for survival in the Premier League for most of last season, and so did Huddersfield.
