Newcastle United sent transfer demand for Wolves captain Conor Coady

Newcastle United fans have given their backing to a potential January move for Wolves defender Conor Coady.

The England international is one of a host of transfer targets linked with a mid-season switch to St James' Park in recent weeks.

Eddie Howe is expected to receive significant backing in the January transfer window, with the Magpies currently stranded in the relegation zone with just one win recorded all season.

Newcastle's defensive record so far has led to reports linking the likes of Coady and Burnley pair Ben Mee and James Tarkowski with moves to Tyneside.

The Wolves captain is contracted at Molineux until 2025, but the Times reports the 28-year-old remains on the Magpies 'radar'.

Coady has played in all but three minutes for Bruno Lage's side this season, meaning any attempts at a January deal could prove problematic for Newcastle.

However, this has not stopped Magpies supporters offering their seal of approval to the prospective move according to Birmingham Live.

One fan wrote: "The perfect Newcastle window has Captain Coady at the top of my list."

Another commented: "I would obviously much prefer Tarkowski but I would still happily take Coady.

"He is a warrior and a leader who has captained Wolves to back-to-back seventh-placed finishes."

A third supporter added: "He would literally improve our back four by around one million per cent and I will pick him up from Wolverhampton."

A fourth fan posted: "All you can really ask at this stage is that they bring in players that are better than what we already have and Coady certainly fits into that category."
