Newcastle want Kalouda

Newcastle are currently in talks to sign Lubos Kalouda from Brno. The 20-year-old midfielder has been in talks with Juventus for some time, and the man considered the 'new Pavel Nedved' could be ready for the Premiership for around £3 million.

"Considering that 31 January is getting closer, we have to negotiate," Brno's major shareholder Roman Pros confirmed to CTK.

"There are no further obligations to Juventus. Despite that, we are awaiting their statement but in the meantime we have started talks with Newcastle who know our requirements for releasing Kalouda."
