Newcastle United could be interested in adding another player to the club who could cost essentially nothing in transfer fees, as the Magpies have shown interest in attacking midfielder Steeven Langil according to The Daily Mail.

Langil seems a bit of an odd target for Newcastle United, as he's 25 years old and didn't appear to play a lot for a mid-table Ligue 2 team, but he is French and he will be cheap on the market. Those are really the only two reasons the Toon would seem to be interested in bringing in someone like Langil.

Langil is a winger who only scored three goals in 33 appearances for Auxerre.
