Newcastle 'enquire' about deal for Wylan Cyprien - Report
According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle have made an enquiry about signing OGC Nice star Wylan Cyprien.
The piece claims the French midfielder is valued at 'around £20m' by the Ligue 1 club and has also attracted interest from Tottenham, but it's reported we've now made a move and asked about his availability.
With Bruce said to be on the lookout for a 'box-to-box' midfielder this month, Cyprien appears to fit the bill, while his age (24) suggests he's a player that fits into the club's transfer policy.

One to watch in Bruce's pursuit of a new central midfielder? He fits the bill, although I fear we may be relying on loans this month - not £15-£20m signings.
Here's him in action:
