Newcastle continue to be linked with a move for Fulham’s Tom Cairney.
The Daily Mirror say Magpies boss Rafael Benitez is big fan of the Whites star and is determined to sign him this summer.
Benitez is said to have sent scouts to watch Cairney in action for Fulham against Huddersfield at the weekend.
Bournemouth and Burnley are also reported to be interested in Cairney, who moved to Craven Cottage from Blackburn in 2015 having previously been at Hull City.
The Mirror say Cairney, 26, is keen to play in the top flight after failing to make the grade at Hull.
Cairney’s goal in Fulham’s 4-1 win at Huddersfield was his 11th of the season.
