According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Everton midfielder Tom Davies is admired on Tyneside, and Newcastle United could make a move in January as head coach Steve Bruce looks to bolster his midfield.
The department is the club’s weakest, and the Magpies boss privately bemoaned his side’s failure to make quality additions during the summer transfer window in November.
Newcastle have identified a couple of potential targets in the domestic and foreign markets as they prepare for next month’s transfer business, but Bruce prefers players with Premier League experience.
It’s not the first time that the Toons have been linked with Davies, and a move could be sealed this time with the Everton academy graduate currently struggling for game time under manager Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park.
