Daily Mail confirmed the news on its website on Friday, November 26th, 2021. According to reports, the Magpies are looking to strengthen their defence and the Ukrainian is part of their plan to achieve that goal.

The Manchester City defender has played just 56 minutes in the Premier League this season and might be looking to get more playing time under his belt. The Scottish player was part of the team that beat Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad but might be looking to get himself more playing time.

Zinchenko is behind Joao Cancelo in the left-back position and he is down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola. The player has been the victim of injury this season which has also hindered his playing time.

Nisastle is last on the Premier League table following their inability to get results despite the takeover by the Saudi Arabia Consortium. They will be looking to bring in players that will ensure they don't get relegated at the end of the season.
