Former Premier League defender Alan Hutton has suggested that Newcastle United transfer target and Leeds United winger Jack Harrison could be 'thinking about' a move to St. James' Park.
It's no surprise Harrison would want a move away from Elland Road as despite success in recent weeks, a torrid start to the season has seen Leeds take just 15 points from 14 matches with the 26-year-old not included as much as many might've thought coming into the campaign.
The Magpies are also an attractive destination after their incredible start to the season, having only lost once in 15 matches before the break for this year's World Cup.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch has been using lots of the fresh, young talent at his disposal and their performances have almost overshadowed Harrison's decent beginning to the year - something Hutton believes could spur the move away from Elland Road on even further.
"I think if Newcastle come calling, somewhere that you can see what they are doing, they are trying to build something, you would definitely want to be a part of that.
"I think from a Leeds point of view, they are still in a position that they are on the edge. I do not think that they would want to get rid of a player like that, even though [Crysencio] Summerville has come in and done really well.
"I think it is healthy to have that competition, to have more than one player available for the position. When you are used to playing week in and week out and then you lose your spot, the only thing you want to do is get back playing.
"So it is probably something that he will be thinking about."
