Newcastle United are reportedly keen on Jarrod Bowen.

According to The Chronicle, Newcastle United have internally mentioned a potential move to sign Hull City winger Jarrod Bowen this summer.

The Magpies splashed the cash to sign Hoffenheim striker Joelinton on Tuesday, but Steve Bruce needs more recruits for the new season.

Another winger is needed given that loanee Kenedy has headed back to Chelsea, and Bruce is being linked with a familiar face.

It’s believed that Newcastle have had internal discussions about a move for Hull star Bowen, who joined the club from Hereford back in 2014 under the stewardship of Bruce.

Bowen, 22, smashed 22 goals and four assists for Hull last season, emerging as one of the top young talents in the Championship.

Primarily a right-sided winger with a superb left foot, Bowen can bring a real spark to the Newcastle attack, and it seems that fans would love such a move too.

Newcastle fans recently urged the club to make a move for Bowen this summer instead of Burnley’s Dwight McNeil, believing that he is exactly the type of player the Magpies need to sign.

Hull would demand a considerable fee for Bowen, but Bruce should certainly pursue a reunion, and land a talented young English player in the process – something Newcastle should be looking for alongside foreign imports.
