Newcastle United and Southampton weigh up moves for the 28-year-old, according to a report.
The Daily Mail has reported that Newcastle United are interested in reported Southampton target Zouhair Feddal.
Mauricio Pellegrino’s appointment at Southampton has given rise to suggestions that he could reunite with the 28-year-old centre-back at St Mary’s this summer.
The Morocco international made 33 appearances under Pellegrino at Alaves last season and The Daily Mail claims that the Argentine is weighing up a “bargain” £2.6 million move.
The report goes on state that Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez is also an admirer of Feddal.
However, the Magpies have already signed a central defender this summer – Florian Lejeune – and it remains to be seen whether Benitez wants or needs another one.
Lejeune alongside Jamal Lascelles seems to be Newcastle’s first-choice pairing for next season, although Grant Hanley and Chancel Mbemba might well leave St James’s Park.
It has been a frustrating window for the North-East giants, and United fans would be slightly nonplussed if another defender was recruited before an attacking player.
Southampton, on the other hand, might well need another centre-back, with Virgil Van Dijk unlikely to spend another season on the South Coast.
