Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes Mason Mount would “fit really well” at Newcastle United. Midfield has been an area of contention in recent times, with Eddie Howe short of options following Jonjo Shelvey’s exit.
Joelinton, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes are the only first-team options and, as Newcastle play 4-3-3, that leaves them light. Two bids for James Maddison were rejected last summer and the Magpies are linked with another approach at the end of the campaign.
Reports have also suggested another England international, Mount, could arrive at St James’ Park. Like Maddison, he also has less than 18 months on his current contract - sparking rumours of a possible exit.
