Queens Park Rangers attacker Matt Philips has emerged as the top target for Newcastle United in the winter transfer window.

The 24-year-old is rumoured to be considering his future at Loftus Road amidst interest from a number of Premier League sides.

According to The Sun, the Tyneside outfit are pondering over a move for the talented winger, who has notched two assists and four goals in the Championship this season.

Magpies boss Steve McClaren is understood to be under immense pressure to perform, having seen his side win just two of their 14 league games this term.
