Jacque Talbot has revealed that Renan Lodi is now 'one to watch' for Newcastle United on Transfer Deadline Day.

The Lowdown: Targett alternative?

It has widely been reported that Matt Targett could arrive at St James' Park on loan from Aston Villa today, but in case they cannot get him, the Magpies will have other targets lined up for the left-back spot.

Dan Burn looks set to become their fourth signing of the January transfer window after Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes, and with the majority of positions on the pitch covered, it looks as if left-back could be the next one to target.

The Latest: Lodi 'one to watch'

As per Talbot, Atletico Madrid left-back Lodi is now set to be 'one to watch' for Newcastle going into Deadline Day, although he admits that a move for the Brazilian could be one for the summer, tweeting:

"Understand Renan Lodi is one to watch for Newcastle, who are looking for a left-back. Atletico want 40m euros.

"Might be one for the summer, though."

The Verdict: Get it done

Money is not an object to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium, so paying €40m (£33.3m) for Lodi should not be a problem.

He is a left-back playing at the highest level, having helped Atletico to win the La Liga title last season, and he has played many times in the Champions League over the past three years.

The Brazilian is still only 23 years of age as well, and if he is up for the relegation fight, then he could be a shrewd last-minute buy for the new owners at Newcastle.
