Newcastle United are interested in Sochaux youngster Alan Virginius.
Foot Mercato says Newcastle, Club Brugge and Bayer Leverkusen have all asked Sochaux about Virginius' situation.
Newcastle are ready to make a first offer, with plans to bid €10m to convince Sochaux to sell.
Newcastle scouts were impressed by Virginius during the U19 Euros, where he shone with France.
The Toon hope to nick the 19 year-old away before rivals have the time to react.
