Newcastle United's hunt for centre backs has been one of the most publicised sagas of this season's January transfer window.
Eddie Howe's side have been struggling terribly at the back and it's thought that they would like to sign two new centre backs this month. Having thrown away a vital lead against Watford last week, where Jamaal Lascelles was beaten far too easily in the air by teenage forward Joao Pedro, they had targeted bringing in at least one in time to face Leeds United this Saturday.
However, Leeds have been boosted by the fact that time has ticked on this week, with no sign of the Magpie's transfer chase progressing.
