Newcastle United linked with Swansea captain and Wolfsburg star amid fresh interest in Jacob Murphy

Here is your 4am Newcastle United digest.

Premier League duo keen on Swansea captain Matt Grimes

Various reports claim that Newcastle United and Southampton are looking at Matt Grimes of Swansea City.

Grimes scored the goal which took Swansea into the Championship play-off final and, despite playing just 19 times in an injury disrupted campaign last term, has impressed in recent years.

At 25, the central midfielder has the best years ahead of him and is set to be available for just £8million.

Newcastle keen on Dutch international forward, according to reports

Newcastle United and West Ham are said to be interested in Wout Weghorst, the Athletic report.

The 28-year-old hit 20 goals for Wolfsburg last season and is thought to be available this summer, despite the Wolves qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Weghorst will hope to impress potential suitors while representing the Netherlands in this summer's European Championships.

Report claims Jacob Murphy attracting interest from European giants

Jacob Murphy has one year left on his current deal at Newcastle United and although the club are keen to tie him down to a new contract but he seems to have options.

According to Football Insider, Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray have joined Leeds and Rangers with an interest in Murphy.

The 26-year-old had endured a tough time on Tyneside since joining the club in 2017 but re-established himself as an important member of Steve Bruce's squad with some impressive displays last term.
