Newcastle 'likely' to strike surprise deal with West Ham if Irons seal £15m signing - Report
According to The Mirror, Newcastle expect to bring in Issa Diop before Monday's 11pm deadline if West Ham can sign a replacement first.
Darren Lewis reports that the Hammers are set to launch a fresh £15m bid for Marseille centre-back Duje Caleta-Car - a deal which is expected to have a big knock on effect for Newcastle United, should it go through.
If the Croatian arrives at the London Stadium, The Mirror believe that Diop is 'likely' to sign at St James' Park, with Eddie Howe ready to firm up his interest in the Frenchman.
Elsewhere, The Sun's Alan Nixon also released a report last night confirming our interest in the former Toulouse star, claiming they'd be willing to sell the 25-year-old if an offer of around £10m arrived.
It had been suggested that David Moyes would refuse to sell the 6ft 4' defender after Angelo Ogbonna was ruled out for the season, but with Kurt Zouma fit again and Caleta-Car eyed up, it seems Diop could leave if the latter arrives from Marseille in the next 48 hours.
