Elliot Anderson is in line for a new contract at Newcastle United.
The Sun says his Toon deal has two seasons to run and the club will try to keep him with a four or five-year arrangement.
A snag is that Anderson is about to change agents but that should not stop the process.
Milwall were hot on his heels and were considering a loan swoop for the youngster who's represented England and Scotland at youth level.
But any chance of another loan has been ruled out after the Toon lost Jonjo Shelvey to injury.
