Newcastle United linked with £91m double deal but face competition from Tottenham and Brighton

The 23-year-old has netted one goal whilst chipping in with four assists across all competitions with the full-back able to operate at either left-back or right-back with the Magpies looking to strengthen in defence.

Currently, England international full-back Kieran Trippier remains Eddie Howe’s first choice on the right side of defence with a lack of depth behind the 32-year-old.

According to a report from Takvim, Newcastle’s Premier League rivals, Brighton and Hove Albion, are also keen on signing the 23-year-old.
