Newcastle have a long-standing interest in Fernandez-Pardo
- Published
Just a few hours after the unveiling of Nico Gonzalez, Matthias Jaissle made it clear he would continue to push for further deals in the final throes of the window.
Another forward is on the German's wishlist and Newcastle have a long-standing interest in Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo, whose creativity and ability to play in a number of positions across the frontline is a huge draw.
The 21-year-old also fits the age range Newcastle have targeted this summer.
This would be a complicated deal to do in the final days of the window, but it was a little telling that Lille manager Davide Ancelotti left Fernandez-Pardo out of his squad for the weekend's game against Paris St-Germain and has decided to exclude him from training until the window shuts.
