But the Magpies will face competition to land the on-loan Serie A man, with La Liga outfit Sevilla also understood to be keen, according to a report on Estadio Deportivo.

The 25-year-old, described by the report as one of the ‘great revelations’ of Serie A, is thought to be valued at £8.5million by his parent club Genoa.

The report claims United have had Gunter watched ‘on a number of occasions’ this campaign.
