Neal Maupay is one of football's brightest attacking talents right now, and it is claimed Newcastle United are keen on the France youth international. The Express report the club could move for the striker, and use fellow striker as a makeweight in the deal. It remains to be seen who will be Newcastle's number #1 striker this season following the arrival of Siem De Jong, sparking speculation about Rivieire's future.
