A reporter has revealed that Newcastle United are now in talks to sign Ludovic Blas in the January transfer window.
According to Daily Star journalist Jacque Talbot on Friday night, both Newcastle and Watford are in talks to sign Blas this month, while the player is also attracting interest from Lille and abroad. He revealed on Twitter:
“It would appear that Newcastle and Watford are in talks to sign Ligue 1 star Ludovic Blas. The 24-year-old is in talks with relegated Premier League rivals playing tomorrow, while Lille and the Bundesliga are also interested in him. »
The 24-year-old is enjoying a stellar season at Nantes, scoring seven goals and one assist in 19 Ligue 1 games. He is currently the club’s fourth-best player. He averages more shots and dribbles per game than any of his teammates, and he could be considered by France manager Didier Deschamps for the World Cup in Qatar this winter. next.
Curiously, the Nantes maestro is represented by the same agency as Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, who have both signed with the Magpies since the beginning of the month. Especially since Newcastle are sorely lacking in goals in midfield, and Blas could certainly remedy this given his record this season.
