Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to the latest defender link, as reports claim they could move for Swansea defender Federico Fernandez.
According to a reports (via HITC), Newcastle are hoping to complete a deal for Fernandez for just £3m.
Reports in Wales have suggested the Swans want a whopping £10m for the experienced centre back, but the Magpies hope his desire to return to the Premier League will lower the fee.

Fernandez appeared over 100 times in the Premier League for Swansea, and racked up nearly 50 Serie A appearances for Napoli before that.
The 29 year-old, who has 32 caps for Argentina, can play in a back three or a back four, and seems the ideal replacement for the injured Florian Lejeune.
The Magpies have already signed Fabian Schar, but the injury to Lejeune means they will now need another defensive reinforcement.
Fans are pretty fed up with the club leadership this summer though, and you can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
