Steve Bruce 'fights' to bring Ahmed Elmohamady to Newcastle United

Elmohamady played for Bruce at Aston Villa, Hull City and Sunderland.

And The Sun claim that United’s head coach is “fighting” to sign the Egypt international.

However, the right-back is 31, and the club is looking to sign younger players with a re-sale value.

Bruce said yesterday that the club is still “active” in the transfer market following the arrivals of Allan Saint-Maximin and Jetro Willems.
