Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is eyeing Everton fullback Brendan Galloway.
The Sun says Toon are still missing a top left-back for their promotion push and they are prepared to pay a decent rental fee plus full wages for Galloway, who is Leighton Baines' understudy.
Galloway, 20, could be allowed to leave by Ronald Koeman as he has Luke Garbutt back at the club and a capable substitute for Baines.
Everton are interested in Newcastle's unsettled French midfielder Moussa Sissoko — but he is not part of the negotiations.
