The soon-to-be new owners of "Newcastle United" are already lining up potential candidates who could strengthen the team during the off-season. According to "Bild," the Premier League team is interested in Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez. The 24-year-old Frenchman moved from Atletico Madrid to Germany last summer for 80 million euros, but injuries and lack of form raised doubts about his future with Bayern. This Bundesliga season, L. Hernandez has received three yellow cards in 11 matches.
