Newcastle United have reportedly failed in their attempt to sign Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour.
The Tunisian international signed a new deal at the Principality outfit last month, despite deep interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
However, Get French Football News claims that the Magpies had made a formal enquiry regarding the player's availability in the summer.
It is added that their advances were instantly rejected as the talented centre-back would only leave Monaco for a club playing European football.
The Magpies currently find themselves languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, following a run of seven games without a win.
