Last month, The Sun’s Paul Jiggins wrote a piece claiming that Newcastle were planning to launch a bid for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer.
Fast forward a few weeks, his colleague Tom Barclay has released another transfer ‘exclusive’, this time involving Eagles teammate Tyrick Mitchell.
His report states that Newcastle are one of four Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on the highly-rate left-back; who received his first call-up to the England squad this week ahead of NUFC loanee Matt Targett.
It seems we’ll face stiff competition if we were to pursue our ‘interest’ in the 22-year-old, as Tottenham, Man City and Chelsea are also said to be big admirers of Mitchell.
The Palace man has missed just EIGHT minutes of football all season, with Brentford’s Christian Norgaard the only Premier League player to have completed more tackles than the London-born defender.
Personally, this one seems highly unlikely, for now, if we are planning to pursue Matt Targett on a permanent deal, with The Chronicle recently reporting that he could complete a £15m move to Tyneside once his loan spell from Aston Villa expires.
