Newcastle identify Nottingham Forest star as potential Miguel Almiron replacement - The Telegraph

According to The Telegraph's Luke Edwards, Newcastle United are planning a late move for Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White should Miguel Almiron join Saudi side Al-Shabab.

He reveals that the 23-year-old has been watched 'extensively' by the club's recruitment team and earned extra brownie points for his outstanding display in their 3-1 win at St James' Park on Boxing Day.

Forest are 'likely to resist any late bid' and it's thought a deal would be very tough to complete this month should Almiron depart, but it seems he's high on our list of potential replacements.

Edwards insists that reports of an agreement between Newcastle and Al-Shabab are premature, though talks are set to continue over the coming days. If a January deal can't be struck, the Saudi Pro League side are expected to renew their interest over the summer.
