The 22-year-old currently plies his trade at Young Boys in Switzerland and has just helped guide the side to their first league title in 32 years.

Nuhu has made 43 appearances for Young Boys this season, where he plays alongside former Newcastle man Kevin Mbabu, and has two caps for his country.

But he could be on the move this summer, with Swiss newspaper Blick claiming that Rafa Benitez's side are interested in the colossal centre back.

Blick suggest that teams from Germany, Ukraine and Russia are also interested with a reported fee of £7.5million required to prise the defender away from the Stade de Suisse.

Elsewhere, former Sunderland manager David Moyes has been linked with an instant return to management at Stoke City.

Paul Lambert's departure has the Potters searching for a new manager and Moyes' name is reportedly in the frame.
