According to the british radio station, Newcastle are interested in Everton outcast Lucas Digne. The left-back has reportedly fallen down in the pecking order due to a rift with The Toffees manager Rafael Benitez and the club is open to listening to offers.

Digne, 28, shows off an interesting résumé that includes stints at European giants such as PSG and Barcelona, his last club before joining the English side for €20 million in the summer of 2018.
However, Chelsea have also been linked with the Frenchman as they’re studying alternatives to Ben Chilwell, who is ruled out for the remainder of the season through an ACL injury. It remains to be seen whatthe next destination of Lucas Digne will be,but it will probablybe far from Goodison Park.
