According to the Daily Mail, the Magpies would have received the request of their coach Eddie Howe to sign the player as a potential replacement for Bruno Guimaraes, who could be ready to be sold in the summer transfer window.

For that reason, Newcastle would be doing everything to convince the player in the last few days, and he could finally choose the North English club ahead of Manchester United if the Red Devils don’t make a quick move for him.
