Newcastle is observing 21-year-old French midfielder Kévin Danois ahead of the 2026 transfer window. The player is also attracting significant interest within France, with Olympique Lyonnais, Stade Rennais, and LOSC all having placed him on their lists of targets. A move to the Bundesliga is also considered a possibility.
Auxerre's management had previously rejected an €11 million offer from Bournemouth in 2025, but a summer transfer could be influenced by the club's potential relegation from Ligue 1. The appeal of joining a club that plays in European competitions or moving to a lucrative league like the Premier League could motivate Danois to pursue a move. Danois, who has been capped twice by France U21, joined Auxerre in July 2022 and has a contract until June 2029. His current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
