Newcastle United are interested in signing Emil Krafth from Amiens.
The Sweden international is seen by the Magpies as the ideal man to take the right back berth in their team.
New boss Steve Bruce wants to add players for both full back positions.
Sky Sports believes that Newcastle have already put in a £5.5 million bid for the 24-year-old Krafth.
The Swede can also play in midfield and his versatility is viewed as a great quality by Bruce.
