Newcastle United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Olympiacos midfielder Aguibou Camara.
According to Foot Mercato, the Magpies are closely following the player, who is also being tracked by Liverpool.
Supposedly, there are as many as 10 clubs currently interested in Camara, who Foot Mercato describe as a ‘phenomenon’.
Camara has only been with Greek giants Olympiacos since the summer, after transferring from Lille.
The 20-year-old made the move in a bid to get his professional career up and running.

He made his first-team debut for Lille against Dijon in the Coupe de France last season.
But that would be his only appearance for the club.
Olympiacos signed him, and he’s made a really promising start to life at this new club.
Camara has been a regular in the starting XI, making 25 appearances for the club so far.
The attacking midfielder has helped himself to five goals and also made four assists, which is a pretty decent return given his lack of experience in senior football.
Liverpool are said to have watched him several times already this season. That’s interesting, because Camara is supposedly similar to his international teammate Naby Keita, who obviously plays at Anfield.
Aguibou Camara one to keep an eye on for Newcastle
Camara has been earning plenty of praise at Olympiacos so far this season.
It seems like he could very well be a youngster with big potential.
At the moment, Newcastle are embroiled in a relegation battle, and the club have simply got to get their recruitment right next month.
While Camara is clearly a bright prospect, Newcastle need players who can come in an make an instant impact.
Whether Camara would be able to do that is questionable, given he has not been on the seen very long at all.
Perhaps Newcastle could make a move for him, but this should be in addition to some more senior names.
He’ll be going to AFCON with Guinea, and is definitely someone to watch out for for Newcastle fans.
