BILLIGE FOTBALLDRAKTER

Newcastle are 19th in the Premier League table, having won just one of their 19 matches so far this season.
Eddie Howe's side have conceded 42 goals so far this season, the joint-worst record alongside bottom club Norwich, and have kept just one clean sheet.
Defence is therefore a priority in the January transfer window, with majority owners the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund ready to splash the cash on new additions.
The 28-year-old defender is under contract with Barca until June 2023, but is expected to leave the club on loan until the end of the season, provided the Spanish giants can find a club willing to pay his wages.
This news will come as a relief to Barcelona, with the centre-back previously resisting their efforts to push him out of the door.
Barcelona signed Umtiti from Lyon in July 2016 and he has gone on to make 133 appearances for the club and helped to win two La Liga titles.
Lille's Sven Botman, Liverpool's Nat Phillips, Burnley's James Tarkowski, Sevilla's Diego Carlos and Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly have all mentioned in reports.
