ESPN: Newcastle joins the Battle of Digne, with Everton asking for £25m

According to ESPN, Newcastle joined the Battle of Digne, and Newcastle hopes to bring in the French defender to reinforce the squad.

With Chilwell suffering a serious injury and an early farewell to the season, Chelsea have seen Digne as a target for the winter window and are considering bringing in the Everton left-back on loan.

However, Everton prefer to sell Digne directly, and Digne's relationship with manager Benitez is not good enough, and Everton needs to raise funds to complete the signing.

Everton is expected to price Digne at £25m, a figure that will not be a problem for Newcastle. Newcastle, still in relegation zone, are desperate to reinforce the squad to complete the relegation task.

In addition to the Premier League clubs, Inter and Napoli have also expressed interest in Digne, but as things stand, it is unclear whether the two Serie A clubs will be able to meet Everton's asking price.
