Newcastle have it all in their own hands should they wish to sign Jesse Lingard from Manchester United on deadline day.
The Club have already agreed personal terms with the midfielder after successful negotiations on Sunday, and have just received another boost in their pursuit of the 29-year-old.
According to The Athletic, Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick has now given Lingard his blessing to leave on loan, after he had expressed his desire to move away from Old Trafford this month in search of regular first team football.
