Newcastle United, Bournemouth 'want Samuel Grandsir'

Newcastle United and Bournemouth are reportedly interested in signing Troyes attacker Samuel Grandsir.

The 21-year-old has scored twice and registered four assists in 17 Ligue 1 appearances for Troyes this season.

According to reports in France, Newcastle and Bournemouth are admirers of the France Under-21 international, and both teams have approached Troyes with the view to securing a deal.

Grandsir, who is believed to be valued in the region of £4m, is contracted to his Ligue 1 club until the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

Bournemouth and Newcastle have both struggled in the Premier League in recent weeks, with the former sitting just two places and one point above the 18th-placed Magpies after 18 matches of the 2017-18 season.
