For all Newcastle United plan to splash the cash on senior, experienced players this summer, there is also a desire among the Magpies' hierarchy to add young, prospective talent to Eddie Howe's ranks.
Dan Ashworth has already made it clear Newcastle cannot continue to sign 'here and now' players as attention switches to ensuring future stars are also brought to Tyneside. The likes of Garang Kuol and Yankuba Minteh have been signed and immediately loaned out but one youngster who would likely stick around is Tino Livramento.
Newcastle are keen on the Southampton right-back, 20, who impressed at Chelsea before opting to leave his boyhood club for regular minutes on the south coast. A fee is yet to be agreed with the Saints but the Magpies are confident a deal can be struck for the full-back.
