Yasin Ben El-Mhanni is attracting interest from Fenerbache, Wolves and Brighton as clubs look to set up a cut-price deal while Newcastle United investigate claims of racism and bullying.
Newcastle are investigating club legend and Under-23s manager Peter Beardsley following accusations made by El-Mhanni and supported by five team-mates in written submissions. It is understood that promising youngster Lewis Gibson also left for Everton in the summer after no longer wanting to play for Beardsley.
Beardsley has denied the latest claims, which are being looked into by managing director Lee Charnley and head of safeguarding Steve Swinyard.
