Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to a transfer report claiming the Magpies want to sign Fulham flop Joe Bryan.

According to Football Insider, Newcastle want to make a move for Bryan this summer.

The report claims the Magpies have watched the left-back for a long time, and considered a move before he eventually joined Fulham instead last summer.

Of course, his move to Craven Cottage didn’t go as planned, as he started just 27 games and the Londoners were relegated.

Logistically, signing Bryan makes perfect sense due to his ability to function as a traditional left-back or further forward as a wing-back, making him the perfect fit for a Rafael Benitez side.

However, his woeful first attempt at top-flight action has scared fans off, especially as Matt Ritchie was more than adequate filling in at the wing-back position this season.

The Toon Army are well aware Mike Ashley will operate with limited funds once again, and upgrading a position that doesn’t need upgrading could take away from other more necessary improvements.
