Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is now looking into the possibility of signing Steve Cook from Bournemouth in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.
The British tabloid has claimed that Newcastle boss Howe wants to bring in Cook if he is unable to secure the services of James Tarkowski and Ben Mee from Burnley next month.
