Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles has been linked with a move to Chelsea today.

Newcastle United fans fear that Mike Ashley will cash in on Jamaal Lascelles in the summer, with interest mounting in the defender.

Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles has been linked with a move to Chelsea in the London Evening Standard today.

But Magpies fans are demanding that Mike Ashley asks for big money for the centre-back.

Newcastle supporters even feel that Lascelles is worth north of £50 million, which is the same value that Sunderland have been put in the market for.

The Sunderland Echo have reported that Ellis Short has put Sunderland on the market for a cut price of £50 million, as he looks to push through a sale.

And Newcastle fans couldn’t resist making fun of their rivals, even if they do not want Lascelles to leave.

It remains to be seen whether Newcastle will entertain offers for Lascelles, but his form this season has certainly caught the eye.

The 24-year-old has been a key part of Rafael Benitez’s starting plans, and has led the side with maturity beyond his young years.
