According to L’Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain left back Stanley N’Soki is set to leave the club this summer having grown fed up of a lack of first-team football.

N’Soki, 20, has come up through the PSG ranks, but – much like many young prospects at the Parc des Princes – has found it hard to break into their star-studded line-up.

The youngster has made just 15 first-team appearances this season, of which 10 were starts, and he has played just five times in 2019.

Now, it’s believed that N’Soki is leaving PSG this summer for a fee of around £7million, and it would be a huge surprise if Newcastle United weren’t involved in the bidding.

The Chronicle noted back in November that Newcastle were keeping tabs on N’Soki, having missed out on his signature last summer.

The Magpies have been interested in N’Soki for at least a year now, and Rafael Benitez – if he stays at St James’ Park – may finally have the chance to sign the talented youngster this summer without breaking the bank.

With Antonio Barreca returning to Monaco, a left back is needed at St James’ Park, and Benitez surely has to make his move for wantaway N’Soki this summer having missed out in the past.
