Newcastle eyes RB Leipzig defender Simakan

The Magpies are making a strong push to secure a centre-half before the end of the transfer window.

Per Sky Germany, Simakan is seen as an alternative to Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.

The England international is the Magpies’ first choice to play next to Sven Botman.

However, they are prepared to move on if Palace do not accept an offer for the center half.

They will then go for Simakan, but may have to move quickly, as the transfer window closes on Friday.
