Here is your 4am Newcastle United transfer digest.
Skipp interest
Newcastle United are one of several clubs to show an interest in promising Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp, according to the Mail Online.
The 20-year-old impressed during Norwich City's Championship-winning season last term, and Daniel Farke is keen to secure a second loan spell.
New Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has reportedly not made a decision yet on whether Skipp will be involved in his first-team squad for the upcoming campaign.
Steve Bruce is said to be an 'admirer' of the England under-21 international, while former manager Jose Mourinho labelled the midfielder's performance against Norwich in March 2020 as 'phenomenal'.
Knight being 'monitored'
Burnley and Newcastle United are both believed to be 'keeping tabs' on Derby County prospect Jason Knight, according to the Irish Examiner.
The 20-year-old Irishman has progressed through the ranks with the Rams and has already made 80 appearances for the club.
Knight is currently wearing a medical boot after suffering an ankle injury at the hands of Derby boss Wayne Rooney in pre-season, and the crisis-stricken club could be tempted to cash in on the midfielder.
The title claims the Republic of Ireland international will want to join a club where regular first-team football is a 'realistic prospect'.
