Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury wants to join Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, according to The Northern Echo.
Choudhury has told his representatives to push for a move away from Leicester on a loan deal this summer.
Newcastle are aware of the 23-year-old midfielder’s desire and are ready to discuss his situation with the Leicester officials.
However, according to the report, the Magpies will wait until after they know where they stand with Joe Willock.
Newcastle want to bring back the 21-year-old midfielder from Arsenal, but it is not clear what the youngster and the Gunners want to do.
Willock spent the second half of last season on loan at Newcastle from Arsenal.
Hamza Choudhury to Newcastle United?
Choudhury is a young and promising midfielder who is a dynamic player and will add to the current Newcastle team.
The Englishman wants to play regular football, and this determination and hunger would benefit the Magpies.
Newcastle cannot wait for Willock forever, and it is important that the Magpies seriously start looking at other options.
Choudhury made four starts and six substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leicester last season.
