Kevin Danois, currently with Auxerre, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Newcastle. The midfielder could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Newcastle continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. So far this season, Newcastle are steady at both ends (1.4 goals scored per game, 1.27 goals conceded per game). The role for Kevin Danois would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Newcastle with Erling Haaland, Allan Andrade Elias and Raphinha while no fresh rumours surround Auxerre. Looking for Newcastle transfer rumours?
