It had been reported in the Chronicle that Slavia Sofia president Ventsislav Stefanov has confirmed Newcastle's interest in M'Bohli.
But why would Hughton want the Algeria international when he already has Steve Harper and two superb understudies?
It seems Harper could be heading to Celtic (if the reports are true).
24-year-old M'Bohli had a trial with Manchester United prior to linking up with his country for the finals.
Hughton is now believed to have offered £1million for the talented keeper.
Stefanov claims Newcastle are interested in their prized asset, stating in The Sun: "Newcastle's interest is very strong."
