Newcastle are the front-runners to sign James Maddison when the summer transfer window opens.
The Leicester City attacker is on the market, given the dire situation at the Foxes this term.
Maddison, who will only have a year left on his contract, wants to play European football.
Per Football Insider, Magpies boss Eddie Howe wants to bring Maddison to the club.
He believes the creative talent can fill the void of losing Jonjo Shelvey, who left for Nottingham Forest in the winter.
Newcastle are aiming to qualify for the Champions League by finishing in the top four this season.
