Newcastle United have moved to cover the absence left by Paul Dummett's untimely hamstring injury by targeting Bristol City full back Joe Bryan, following the news that the Welshman will be out for several weeks.
As reported by Football Insider, Magpies boss Rafa Benitez has stepped up his search for a left back, having previously been in the market for one before Dummett's unfortunate injury in the opening day defeat to Spurs.
Ciaran Clark, who naturally operates at centre back, had to move to the left on the day to cover for Dummett, and Benitez is concerned about his lack of depth in the left back department.
