Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is reportedly being monitored by Newcastle as the Magpies look to bolster their midfield before the transfer window closes.
Newcastle are keen to add to that area this month but may need to look to a short-term fix to satisfy spending rules unless sales are made.
Newcastle don't need money to get on the right side of FFP, but they do if they're going to buy a much-needed midfielder in this window.
Now, the Chronicle report that Tottenham ace Hojbjerg is one potential midfield deal that is 'bubbling under the surface' ahead of the February 1 deadline.
