Newcastle are reportedly chasing Anthony Limbombe.
Newcastle United are chasing a late deal for winger Anthony Limbombe, report The Mirror.
Last night he was not named in Nantes squad for last night’s Coupe de Ligue clash with St Etienne.
Limbombe has made 16 appearances for Nantes in Ligue 1 so far this season.
The French side fielded a strong squad, but there was no sign of Limbombe.
This was due to an ankle injury, with France Football reporting 24 hours ahead of the fixture that Limbombe had been ruled out of the fixture.
Limbombe last featured for Nantes as a substitute on January 20.
The ankle injury is only minor and should not prove a major complication to his prospects of a Newcastle switch today.
He is one of four players Newcastle are tracking, with Sky Sports reporting left back Antonio Barreca, Benfica midfielder Andreas Samaris and Atlanta United playmaker Miguel Almiron all set to sign.
