Scottish champions Celtic are believed to be showing considerable interest in Newcastle United pair Paul Dummett and Conor Newton.
The agent of the pair, Spencer Downey, suggests that the Hoops are monitoring the duo who both spent last season on loan with St Mirren, impressing the Buddies as well.
"They both made a massive impact up in Scotland," Downey told the Newcastle Chronicle.
"St Mirren are really keen to keep them, but there has been interest from other clubs, including Celtic.
"Celtic are one of those clubs who if you do well against them, they keep an eye on you. Conor did particularly well in midfield against Victor Wanyama and Joe Ledley.
"They haven't ruled out St Mirren yet. St Mirren have shown their desire to both players."
