Zakaria El Ouahdi is a player being watched by Newcastle. The 24-year-old Moroccan and Belgian international, who plays for KRC Genk, is described as an attacking full-back who meets the Premier League club's requirements. He joined the Belgian club in September 2023 and is under contract until June 2028. In the current Jupiler Pro League season, he has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 24 appearances. Newcastle are not the only ones interested; Everton and Crystal Palace are also reportedly monitoring the player. While specialized websites estimate El Ouahdi would cost around 15 million, Genk is hoping to increase that price through a bidding process.
