Valencia could raid Newcastle United ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline – with reports in Spain linking them with defender Javier Manquillo.

According to Spanish publication AS, and others, Manquillo is on the La Liga side’s radar after news that Cristiano Piccini will be out for the next five months with a patellar fracture.

Napoli’s Elseid Hysaj remains their top target but should that move fail, a bid for Manquillo could be pursued.

Manquillo started the Magpies’ first game of the season against Arsenal.
