Hull City midfielder Jarrod Bowen is high on Newcastle United's January shopping list.
The Evening Chronicle says Newcastle plan to support Steve Bruce in the January transfer window, with recruitment planning already under way at St James' Park.
Steve Nickson has begun the process of compiling target lists with United looking at midfield options and also potential forward additions.
One name fed into summits is Bowen, who is entering the final year of his contract. But the Tigers have an option to trigger another year, which they plan to do.
Bowen would tick every Newcastle box and is understood to be open to the idea of a move to St James' Park – but whether United would extend to the reported £20million fee is another matter.
