According to Football Insider, Newcastle United have joined the likes of Celtic and West Ham United in the race to sign Brighton & Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy.
The centre-back dropped down the pecking order at Brighton last season as the likes of Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster were favoured ahead of him by manager Graham Potter.
With the return of Ben White following his loan stint, it is reported that the Seagulls are prepared to accept Duffy’s departure and are willing to accept an initial loan.
Both Celtic and West Ham have been credited with an interest in Duffy, but the Magpies have now joined the pursuit of the Republic of Ireland international.
