da dobrowin: Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to the latest transfer news, as reports claim they are set to swoop for long time target Christopher Jullien.
da betsson: According to Robin Bairner, Newcastle are one of three teams chasing Jullien, who is available for a “bargain” price of around €10m (£8.9m).
The towering Frenchman has been linked with a move to Tyneside in the past, and the injury to Florian Lejeune seems to have reignited their interest.
Bairner claims both Everton and Southampton are also eyeing the 6 ft 5 Toulouse centre back.

Everton are in desperate need of a new centre back, with Michael Keane still struggling at Goodison and Ashley Williams expected to follow Ramiro Funes Mori out the exit door.
Likewise, Newcastle are dangerously short of options at the back, losing Lejeune and Mbemba this summer while only adding Fabian Schar.
Schar, Lascelles and Jullien would be a good trio to pick from for Benitez, but it doesn’t seem like fans are too convinced Mike Ashley will splash the cash, and you can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
