According to The Chronicle, Newcastle could cash in on Harrison Ashby if the right offer arrives over the next few weeks, while youngsters Joe White and Alfie Harrison may leave on loan for first team football.
After an injury-hit loan spell at Swansea last season, Ashby faces tough competition in the form of Kieran Trippier, Tino Livramento and Emil Krafth as one of Eddie Howe’s right-back options.
The 22-year-old sealed a £3m move from West Ham back in January last year and could seal another loan move this summer. However, The Chronicle report that he’s ‘free to go’ if a suitable permanent bid arrives.
Fellow youngster Joe White is expected to go out on loan. He impressed at Crewe last season and was due to feature over pre-season until a back issue disrupted his summer. The Geordie midfielder is 21 now and out of contract next summer, so this feels like a pivotal year for White.
After several cameos over pre-season, highly-touted Alfie Harrison is also expected to be loaned out this summer if a suitable offer arrived for the former Man City talent in need of minutes at senior level.
The future of more senior players like Martin Dubravka and Jamal Lewis is uncertain for the time being, with the latter way down the pecking order and the former expected to leave for first-team football now Nick Pope is fit again.
Dubravka way down the pecking order, Were you asleep on Saturday, ? He was on the bench.
