According to Pundit Arena, Newcastle United are one of a number of clubs considering a move for Jonathan Afolabi.

The 19-year-old is available on a free transfer this summer after leaving Southampton at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

Pundit Arena claim that the teenager's performances for Republic of Ireland's Under-19 side at the recent European Championships have led to a host of attention.

Indeed, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Birmingham City and Reading have been listed as possible suitors, in addition to 'clubs abroad'.

Newcastle are very much in the hunt, though, with the Magpies said to have been impressed with Afolabi's form this summer.

A host of the Newcastle fans have been on social media reacting to the speculation.

And it would be fair to say that too many are enthused by the idea of the free agent arriving at St James' Park ahead of the new campaign.
