Newcastle to rival Premier League duo for versatile Bundesliga forward

Newcastle, Everton and West Ham are all being linked with a move for Danish international Yussuf Poulsen.

Calcio Mercato reports that the Premier League trio are all interested in the player.

The 24-year-old is under contract with Leipzig until 2021 but is being tipped to leave the club in the near future.

Poulsen has played a key role in Leipzig’s rise through German football but has fallen out of favour of late.

With Leipzig continuing to establish themselves as one of the strongest sides in the Bundesliga, Poulsen was restricted to just 18 league starts last season.

The Danish international scored four goals and registered a further two assists throughout the previous campaign.

Poulsen impressed for Denmark during the World Cup, scoring in their opening game against Peru.

Rafa Benitez is keen to strengthen his squad and add quality to his side after avoiding relegation in their first season back in the Premier League.
