Southampton skipper James Ward-Prowse is emerging as a key target for Newcastle United.
The Magpies are now owned by a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium, which makes them one of the richest teams in the world.
While Financial Fair Play limits may impact how much they can spend in the coming transfer windows, Newcastle are expected to be very active in January.
According to Football Insider, Ward-Prowse is one player they would like to bring to the club as soon as possible.
However, the 26-year-old is very important to the Saints, as he is an ever-present in the team and captains the side.
Newcastle would have to put in a mammoth fee to convince the Saints to sell, especially in mid-season.
