Leeds United are among the clubs keen on Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope.
The England international could leave if Newcastle are successful in their renewed pursuit of Burnley‘s £30m-rated James Trafford.
Trafford had agreed to join last August only for the deal not to happen, much to the surprise and disappointment of some of those involved – but the move is expected to be completed this summer.
The 22-year-old played a key role in Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, keeping an impressive 29 clean sheets in 45 appearances.
Leeds are planning to strengthen their squad this summer following their return to the top flight, with the club keen to avoid another short-lived stay.
Current No 1 Illan Meslier has come under criticism following a number of costly errors for the Whites.
Leeds were one of the clubs who enquired after Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher prior to him agreeing to join Brentford in an £18m move.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have checked on 19-year old Rennes centre back Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal who has starred for Morocco U20s.
Boudlal is yet to make his senior debut for Rennes and spent the second half of the season on loan at Ligue 2 Amiens.
Eddie Howe’s side had targeted Liam Delap and Dean Huijsen and are working through alternatives with the likes of Crystal Palace centre back Marc Guehi and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo among the names on their list
