Newcastle have made an attempt for Manchester City midfielder Cole Palmer.
The Athletic says City have turned down a loan offer from Newcastle for Palmer.
Palmer, who has risen through the ranks at the Etihad Stadium, is considered as one of the most exciting prospects looking to become a mainstay in manager Pep Guardiola's plans moving forward.
This season, the attacking-midfielder, who can also play further forward if needed to, has racked up ten appearances, chipping in with two goals, including one in the UEFA Champions League against Club Brugge.
Having shown glimpses of just how much talent there is within his locker, Newcastle are said to have expressed an interest in Palmer and looked into the prospect of signing him on loan in January for the remainder of the season.
However, the Magpies' attempt to lure the youngster to St James' Park was, according to the report, swiftly knocked back by City, with it claimed that he is set to become a key part of Guardiola's thinking in the coming months.
