The Preston North End defender – who played against the Magpies in pre-season – is rated at around £10million by the Championship outfit, which has alerted a number of Premier League clubs to the ball-playing centre-half.

And, according to the Sun, Brighton lead the race for the player, who is also interesting Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers for the January transfer window.
