Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury is a target for Newcastle United.
Steve Bruce has admitted the Leicester City and former England U21 midfielder is a target before the transfer window closes. Choudhury could arrive as a replacement for Matt Ritchie.
Bruce confirmed: “Hamza? It is someone we have liked. I will not speak of someone else's players. It is someone we like."
Asked if Ritchie would leave Bruce commented: “We all understand what Matt's situation is.
"He is a very good player for the club and has been here five years.
“His frustration is he is not playing week in week out.
“It has to be the right offer for anyone in the squad, we have to make way to bring someone in. It would take a hell of an offer."
