Newcastle are keen to sign both Norwich’s Jacob Murphy and Leicester City’s Demarai Gray this summer.
The Chronicle reports that Rafa Benitez is keen to add width to his squad and is also extensively scouting Tom Lawerence, who impressed on loan at Ipswich last season.
Murphy has played a key role at the U21 European Championships this summer in an England side who have reached the semi-finals.
Newcastle are ready to test Norwich with a £8 million bid for the player, although the Canaries are likely to demand closer to £12 million.
Leicester will ask for somewhere in the region of £20 million for Gray, who has been linked with Tottenham and Liverpool in the past.
Newcastle could be wary of sanctioning a deal that would be a club-record transfer fee for a player who struggled to break into the Leicester squad last season.
