Newcastle United fans react to Oliver Burke transfer link

According to reports from The Sun on Sunday (14/10; page 61), Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have sent scouts to watch West Brom attacker Oliver Burke.

The report claims that both the clubs sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old in their recent Checkatrade Trophy clash with Blackpool, where Burke chipped in with an assist in the 2-1 win.

Some Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to discuss whether the club should make a move for him in January.

Burke joined The Hawthorns for £15 million last summer.
