Ismaila Sarr is the latest name to be linked with Newcastle United this summer.

The 19-year-old winger from Metz is subject of a £10.4million bid from the Magpies - according to reports in L’Equipe.

It’s no secret that Newcastle are in the hunt for a winger this summer with Rafa Benitez currently considering a clutch of wide players.

Sarr already has six caps at senior level with Senegal and has appeared 31 times for Metz scoring five goals.

Speaking about Sarr recently, Metz boss Philippe Hinschberger said of the player: “He runs at opponents, he’s quick and he’s someone you don’t like to defend against, so we like to have him.”

Sarr is currently just one year into a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 club.

Lille, Celtic and Watford have also been credited with interest in Sarr but reports in France say that Metz could hold out for a bigger offer than £10.4million for the winger.

Newcastle have relied heavily on the French market in recent years but Benitez is not focusing on one country.

He said last year: “For me it doesn’t matter where the player comes from, as long as he has the right mentality, character and the quality we need.”
