According to The Sun, Newcastle United want Eddie Howe as their next manager if they part ways with Steve Bruce.
However, they aren’t the only ones keen on the former Bournemouth boss, with Scottish Premiership giants Celtic also keeping tabs on him.

The Hoops could part ways with Neil Lennon anytime soon after finding themselves 23 points behind bitter rivals Rangers mid-way through the campaign, and they are already eyeing potential replacements.
Howe left the Cherries last season following their relegation to the Championship, and while a move to Celtic could be tempting given their status and the availability of European football, the chance to remain in the English top-flight is no doubt more appealing.
