Meanwhile, Croatian newspaper Sportske claim the Toon see Benkovic as a viable defensive target.

However, Benkovic would likely cost £25m, which may be beyond Newcastle’s limit.

Coric is a regular in Zagreb’s midfield, having made his debut for the club back in 2014.

He earned his Croatia debut last year and was called up to their Euro 2016 squad.
