Inter Milan are keen on signing Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin during the summer transfer window.
The Frenchman tormented Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot on Sunday and that impressed the Italian club's scouts who were present at St James' Park to see him.
Despite his flair, Saint-Maximin has not always been the first name on Eddie Howe's team sheet with the manager wanting a higher work-rate from his players.
Sevilla and AC Milan had a cheeky dabble at taking the 26-year-old on loan with options in January but Inter are more serious as they contemplate a summer bid.
Newcastle's valuation of the French winger will be key as they need to keep books balanced for Financial Fair Play.
Howe wants to strengthen and has an eye on potential recruits such as Harvey Barnes of Leicester, United's Scott McTominay, Southampton's James Ward-Prowse and Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney.
Newcastle are stepping up efforts to find younger talent too this summer as they build from the back. Southampton's head of youth recruitment Dan Rice - formerly of Fulham, Arsenal, and the FA - has been earmarked as the man to help them.
