Newcastle United are reportedly considering a move for AC Milan forward M’Baye Niang this winter.
The 20-year-old has recently stated his intentions to continue his career with the Rossoneri for the time being, as he hopes to earn a starting place in Pippo Inzaghi’s squad, but has still attracted the attention of several outside clubs including the Magpies in the recent weeks leading up to the January transfer window
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Newcastle are preparing to make an offer to AC Milan in hopes of securing the French talent’s signature in January, but may have a difficult time landing him based on the desires of both the player and the San Siro outfit.
Reports also suggest that Udinese could make a bid for the former Caen man, though a transfer to the Zebrette is seen as unlikely at this time.
Niang, who spent the second half of the 2013-14 campaign on loan at Montpellier, has made three Serie A appearances this season thus far.
