Newcastle United are hoping to improve their defensive options in the coming months and they have identified the Le Havre central defender Arouna Sangante as a potential option.
According to Ignacio Genuardi, Newcastle are keeping tabs on the 21-year-old defender and they could face competition from several other English clubs.
The 21-year-old is highly rated in French football and he has a bright future ahead of him. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Newcastle and moving to the Premier League could help him improve further.
Regular football at Newcastle could accelerate his development and Eddie Howe could play a key role in his growth as a footballer.
Newcastle have done well to identify talented young players in recent windows and the 21-year-old could be another shrewd investment for them. It is evident that the Magpies are looking to build a formidable squad for the future and they must invest in talented young players who can develop into established stars.

Signing a quality central defender should be a priority for them. Sven Botman has been a quality performer for them and the Magpies need to find a reliable partner for him. The likes of Fabian Schar and Dan Burn are in their 30s and they will need to be replaced soon.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League is likely to be an attractive option for Sangante and he will hope that the two clubs can come to an agreement regarding a fee.
