The Hoffenheim midfielder has done well in the Bundesliga this season and he could prove to be a good addition to the Magpies’ side.
As per SportBild (translated by Chronicle), Arsenal and Southampton are keen on signing the midfielder as well.
The 24-year-old defensive midfielder will provide better cover to Bruce’ defence and allow the creative players like Almiron to operate with more freedom.
Although Newcastle have a similar player in Sean Longstaff, Grillitsch’s arrival will only add more quality and depth to the squad.
It will be interesting to see if they make an offer for the Austrian at the end of this season.
