Newcastle monitor Liverpool wantaway Joe Gomez after Crystal Palace reject a fourth bid for £65m-rated centre-back Marc Guehi
Newcastle are aware that Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is exploring options after missing the Reds' 2-0 win over Ipswich on Saturday.
The 27-year-old, who wants more regular starting opportunities and in his favoured centre-back position, was not included in Arne Slot's first Premier League matchday squad at Portman Road this weekend.
Mail Sport understands that Newcastle are now monitoring Gomez ahead of the summer transfer deadline, keen to bolster Eddie Howe's back line following a leaky Premier League campaign last season.
