Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig star, Dominik Szoboszlai, as the Magpies prepare for a huge summer transfer window.
Eddie Howe is enjoying a hugely successful season at St James Park, guiding the Magpies to third in the Premier League and reached the Carabao Cup final.
The side from Tyneside are on track to qualify for Champions League football, which means the summer will be vital in strengthening their squad for next season.
Summer signings, Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak have been vital for the Toon this year and have highlighted how impact additions can be.
A player that could be on his way to Newcastle in the summer, is RB Leipzig star, Dominik Szboszlai. The Hungarian has become a household name in the Bundesliga and has reportedly attracted interest from Eddie Howe.

The RB Leipzig forward has made 43 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight and assisting 13 goals for the German giants.
However, the club’s display in Europe has symbolised the poor form that has hindered their form, losing to Manchester City in the round of 16, by an 8-1 aggregate scoreline.
The Hungary international scored in Leipzig’s last league fixture, as they scraped by Werder Bremen, to move themselves back into third place and on track to qualify for the UCL once again.
The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe and with his current deal set to expire in 2025, it may take up to £70m to coax him from Leipzig.
Newcastle have targeted a variety of attacking options, with Barcelona star, Raphinha, being linked with a move back to the Premier League as the La Liga side look to bring Lionel Messi back to Spain.
James Maddison has also been rumoured with a move to St James Park, as Leicester continue in their battle to avoid relegation. The summer could see a host of players move to the Magpies, as they enter the Champions League for the first time since 2003-04
