Newcastle United Deal For Soon To Be Free Agent Not As Close As Claimed

Newcastle United are not as close to a deal for the signature of Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly as previously anticipated, according to The Athletic.

The Magpies are already working towards getting some of their business done early ahead of the summer transfer window.

Their PSR issues mean Newcastle are looking at free agents and Kelly has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle.

Newcastle are reportedly pushing ahead with their pursuit of the left-sided centre-back this summer.
