According to The Sun, Newcastle United will make an official approach for Sheffield Wednesday manager Steve Bruce before setting out on their pre-season trip to China on Saturday. The Magpies want to appoint a permanent boss before the Premier League Asia Trophy which also features Manchester City, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and are ready to pay the £1 million compensation to land the services of the 58-year-old. Bruce once managed Newcastle’s bitter rivals Sunderland, but it is believed he is open to bossing his boyhood club, and it remains to be seen how the Toon Army will react to his appointment.
