Newcastle United are lining up a summer swoop for Guingamp midfielder Anthony Knockaert, reports in France suggest.
The France Under-20s international, who is also being monitored by Benfica and Marseille, revealed that he is flattered by the interest being shown in him.
"I have knowledge of this interest and I am proud because these are big clubs," the 20-year-old told French newspaper Ouest-France.
"This is a sign that I'm doing well at Guingamp, but for now I'm only concentrating on my work here."
Knockaert has been at the French Ligue 2 outfit since 2009.
