Newcastle United want Hull City defender

06 March 2017 - 06:18

Newcastle United will step up their pursuit to sign Hull City\'s Harry Maguire once their promotion to the top flight is confirmed.

  • Confirmed Man Utd line-up vs Liverpool, Matheus Cunha starts
  • Chelsea quoted price to sign Igor Thiago


  • The Magpies are on course to finish in the top-two positions in the Championship with third-placed Huddersfield Town, 11 points adrift with a game in hand.

    According to The Sun, the Tyneside outfit will once again invest in key players during the summer transfer window with a certain Harry Maguire topping their shortlist.

    Maguire, 24, has got the chance to establish himself in his preferred centre-back position in recent months, and his performances have impressed the Magpies\' hierarchy.

    The former England Under-21 international is due to leave the Tigers if they are to be relegated, but the club could still find an offer of around &pound12m hard to refuse during the off-season.

    Hull City are currently placed 19th with 21 points following their first poor performance under Marco Silva in the 3-1 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday.
