Newcastle United are set to pursue a summer free agent to shore up their back line.

The Magpies want to add more quality to raise the ceiling of the team and compete with Europe's best.

However, manager Eddie Howe also wants to ensure they have a big squad that can handle all that comes their way.

Per Chronicle Live, Bournemouth star Lloyd Kelly is one such player in Howe's eyes.

Having managed him before at the Cherries, Howe is acquainted with what Kelly can do.

He believes that signing him on a Bosman would be a huge coup, given top teams like AC Milan and Juventus are interested.
