Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has emerged on Newcastle United's radar - according to Foot Mercato.
The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Marseille, who have the option to sign him outright at the end of the season.
It has been suggested that the French club could then look to sell Guendouzi on, with Newcastle now keeping a close eye on his situation.

I think they can employ the same loophole that enabled Romero to move to Spurs in the summer.
Atalanta acquired Romero on loan with an option to buy for €16m from Juve. They activated that clause in the summer and subsequently loaned out Romero to Spurs, with an obligation to buy for €55m next summer.
Newcastle could do something similar with Guendouzi. Iirc Marseille have an obligation clause of £10m to sign him next summer. I'm unsure whether it's an option or obligation. They could activate that clause, loan out Guendouzi to Newcastle, and sell him permanently for £30m in the summer of 2023.
Mind you, I'm just talking about the technicalities. For all we know, this could simply be a rumor.

I like the profile of player they're going for. Young and promising.
Our summer was the best in many many years.
Even if it doesn't work out with Arteta a new guy can come in and do well with our squad of players.

I am not sure there is an obligation for us to sell him - at least not how it has been reported.
But we'll see.
Frankly, we don't need or want his kind anyway, so we'll be better off getting shot of him.
We have bigger issues with existing players that have been here for a few years that need to shifted.
