Dominik Szoboszlai will be keeping close eye on Newcastle run-in after answering transfer question

Dominik Szoboszlai may well be keeping a close eye on the Premier League run in as he continues to be linked with a move away from RB Leipzig. The Hungarian national team captain has emerged as a Newcastle United target in recent months with his Bundesliga future up firmly in the air.

Reports in Szoboszlai's native Hungary this week suggest the attacking midfielder could become the top earner at St James' Park if the Magpies meet his €70m (£61m) release clause this summer. Though Newcastle's chances of signing the 22-year-old could depend heavily on whether Eddie Howe's side reach the Champions League this term.

Szoboszlai was quizzed over his Germany future at the weekend, where he refused to pledge his future to Leipzig and admitted he wanted to play Champions League football. "I'm definitely still with RB Leipzig for three games," he said after a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen.
