Newcastle United have made contact with the agents of Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
The Magpies were hoping to convince Dembele to sign for the club on a free transfer in the summer.

The club believe they have a total agreement with Dembele, and manager Xavi wants to keep the French winger in Barcelona.
