Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Everton are keeping tabs on Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, according to reports.
Woodman, who helped England’s Under-20s win the World Cup earlier this summer, is behind Rob Elliott and Karl Darlow in the Newcastle pecking order.
The youngster is wanted on a season-long loan by a host of Football League clubs after winning the golden glove award at the tournament.
ChronicleLive says Bury, Rotherham, Northampton and Hearts have all submitted enquiries to temporarily take the stopper away from St James’ Park.

Woodman, whose contract runs out in 2020, has had loan spells with Hartlepool, Crawley and Kilmarnock.
He is keen to play regular first-team football this season, and the Eagles could offer that to him with boss Frank de Boer in the market for a goalkeeper.
The Dutchman is not convinced by Wayne Hennessey and long-serving veteran Julian Speroni.
