Newcastle are reportedly interested in signing Fulham defender, Antonee Robinson, who has also attracted interest from Marseille.
Champions League football returned to St James’ Park in the club’s first full season following the recent Saudi Arabian takeover.
Eddie Howe stunned Premier League spectators, as the Toon finished in fourth place and were within touching distance of Manchester United in third.
Champions League qualification was not the only achievement for the club this season, as they reached the Carabao Cup final – losing 2-0 to Manhchester United.
Key signings have been key for the Toon since Howe’s appointment, with the likes of Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes and Nick Pope playing a huge part in the club’s success.
One player that is reportedly on Eddie Howe’s wish-list is Fulham defender, Antonee Robinson, who has been valued at £35m by the Cottagers.

The American international had a stellar campaign during his first season in the Premier League, making 35 appearances and cementing his place under Marco Silva.
Earning a place in his national side, Robinson has caught the eye of a host of elite clubs and could be on the move this summer.
His contract in west London is set to expire in two-years, meaning any deal to sign the 25-year-old could cost up to £35m. Eddie Howe has implemented Dan Burn in the left-back position, who despite being a central defender, has adapted to the role superbly.
However, the Amercian defender has also attracted interest from Marseille, which given Newcastle’s squad, could be a more appealing move.
The Ligue 1 side finished third in the table, earning a place in next season’s Champions League and boosting their chances of additions in the coming months.
