New name linked with NUFC move - Euro 2020 centre-back now on Steve Bruce's radar?

Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Scotland’s Jack Hendry and could launch a bid for the defender this summer, according to new reports.

The 26-year-old is set to feature as first choice centre half at this summer's Euros and bagged the opener in Scotland’s 2-2 draw away to Holland last night.

Hendry has been plying his trade for Belgian side Oostende and is expected to complete a £2million transfer in the coming weeks following a successful loan spell from Celtic.

However, it is thought they are keen to sell him on for a tidy profit after exercising their option-to-buy clause, and media outlet 90min report that us, Burnley and a host of Championship clubs are interested.

He will likely start against England this summer at Wembley; keep an eye out Toon fans, as he will be getting tested against “Premier League” opposition for one of the first times in his career.
