Newcastle United have dispatched scouts to monitor Polish defender Jakub Krzyzanowski in action for Wisla Krakow, according to reports on Thursday. The 19-year-old, regarded as one of Poland's most promising talents, has attracted interest from the Premier League club ahead of the January transfer window.
The Magpies are reportedly considering a move for the centre-back, who has broken into the Wisla Krakow first team this season. Newcastle's scouting network has been tracking Krzyzanowski's progress, with a view to a potential swoop when the market reopens.
Wisla Krakow are understood to be reluctant to lose their academy product mid-season, but a significant offer could test their resolve. Krzyzanowski's contract situation and release clause, if any, remain undisclosed.
