Newcastle United have been linked to two possible January signings today.

The Magpies are though to be interested in Brentford's Alan Judge, who was set to sign for Rafa Benitez's side in the summer but the transfer did not materialise.

Newcastle have also been linked to Lens defender Jean-Kevin Duverne.

Swansea City have also been linked with a swoop for a Brentford player.

According to Teamtalk, the former Rochdale striker has been watched by the Swans' scouts multiple times this season and Francesco Guidolin could follow up the interest with a bid when the transfer window opens in January.

The 24-year-old has scored 13 goals in 15 league matches for the Bees since returning from a serious cruciate injury in March last year.

Michail Antonio celebrates with former Nottingham Forest team-mate Britt Assombalonga

Former Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has revealed he wanted to sign England midfielder Michail Antonio before he went on to sign for West Ham.

Sherwood was sacked early on last season as Villa went on to record their worst points total ever in the top flight (17), but the manager believes the Midlands side will hit their stride at some point this year.

He told Sky Sports' Goal on Sunday: "When I was at Aston Villa, he was a player I highlighted. He was playing in a poor Nottingham Forest team and he was shining.

"He has got pace and power but more importantly he scores goals. He's gone the non-league route which seems to be increasingly popular."

Sherwood continued: "I think they [Villa] will be there or thereabouts when they get into a rhythm. I think they have been a bit unfortunate their last few games."
