and live on Freeview channel 276
Newcastle are predominantly in the market for a centre-back that is comfortable on the ball and that can play on the left-side of a three-man defence.
One man they held an interest in was Tottenham Hotspur’s Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo has admitted today that Carter-Vickers’ injury “doesn’t look good”.
This will come as a major blow to Newcastle who had seemingly beaten off Bournemouth to become favourites to sign the defender who is yet to feature in a Premier League game for Spurs.
If early signs are to be believed, then this injury blow may force Bruce to look for other options to bolster his team at-the-back.
