Newcastle United keen to sign in-demand English teenager, Bruce linked with triple signing, and more

Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Birmingham City wonderkid Jude Bellingham.

Only 16-years-old, Bellingham has also caught the eye of Premier League giants Manchester United in recent weeks, and scored his third league goal in the 4-5 defeat to league leaders Leeds United on Sunday.

The Telegraph report that manager Steve Bruce has around £20m to spend in January, with Bellingham seen as a key target.

The same report suggests that Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is seen as an option, though he is expected to wait until the summer to make a decision on his future.

Hull City star Jarrod Bowen is again linked with a move to St James’ Park, following a sensational start to the season in the second tier.
