# Newcastle linked with swoop for Mitchell Clark

Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Aston Villa youngster Mitchell Clark.

The promising defender is currently enjoying a loan spell in League Two with Port Vale and has established himself as one of the club’s key first-team players.

Clark has already featured 10 times for Port Vale in the league this term as he continues to build up his experience of senior football on a regular basis.

It’s claimed by the printed edition of the Daily Mirror, as per a report from [HITC](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/10/21/report-west-ham-newcastle-watching-mitchell-clark/), that Newcastle are among the clubs keeping tabs on Clark’s progress during his loan spell, with West Ham also interested.

Clark, naturally a left-back, is understood to be held in high regard by parent club Villa, indicating that a move away for the 19-year-old in the near future could be difficult for Newcastle.

However, it seems the Magpies’ interest has been piqued by Clark, whose displays in the fourth tier of English football continue to impress.
