Newcastle to complete ‘brilliant’ Kang-In Lee signing? – fans react
Newcastle United supporters have demanded the club sign PSG star Kang-In Lee after speculation emerged on social media.
Reports claimed an unknown Premier League club had seen a £58million bid rejected for the South Korea international, leading to speculation about who the mystery bidder was.
Suggestions emerged that Newcastle may be among the interested clubs, with one report suggesting new sporting director Paul Mitchell is a huge fan of the attacking midfielder.
Lee featured 36 times for PSG last season, scoring five goals and providing five assists, and faced Newcastle in the Champions League.

Lee outperformed Kylian Mbappe in terms of shirt sales last season, pointing to a potential opportunity to expand the club’s reputation – similar to Heung-Min Son’s influence at Tottenham.
Fans immediately took to social media to insist that the offer must have come from Newcastle given their financial power and aim for increased exposure.
Once supporters at St James’ Park caught wind of the rumours, many expressed their hope that the club would make a move, labelling the deal “perfect”.
In other news, Martin Dubravka has been told to leave Newcastle.
