The POST: Newcastle is in talks with Bayer Leverkusen in hopes of bringing in its left-back Buck

According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle is currently in talks with Bayer Leverkusen to bring in its left-back Mitchell Barker. The Netherlands U21 international, from the Ajax academy, moved to Bayer Leverkusen last summer for £8.5 million from Paris Saint-Germain.

Barker is a modern full-back with a physique comparable to that of a centre-back, providing the height, athleticism and speed that Newcastle desperately needs in the position. During Tuchel's time at Paris Saint-Germain, Barker was the starter under Tuchel, but after Pochettino took charge, he lost his spot and then joined Bayer Leverkusen.

Now, Newcastle are looking to bring in the full-back. In addition, the Magpies are also following Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos and are submitting a formal transfer application. Previously, Sevilla rejected Newcastle's £28m offer.
