Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone is reportedly wanted by Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with a move for Tom Huddlestone in the summer transfer window.

According to The Sun, Premier League club Newcastle are interested in signing Huddlestone from Championship side Hull City in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the Magpies have enquired about recruiting the 30-year-old, who could leave for just £2 million as the Tigers were relegated to the Championship at the end of last season.

“Huddlestone had a clause in his contract allowing him to leave the KCOM this summer for a cut-price £2million if the Tigers were relegated,” states the report in The Sun.

The Sun reported of West Bromwich Albion’s interest in the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder last month.

The Englishman knows the Premier League inside out, and given that he is still only 30, he has a lot of good years left in him.

Although for Newcastle to break into the top 10 of the Premier League next season they need better midfielders, given that Huddlestone will (reportedly) cost only £2m, it would not be a bad idea for the Magpies to make a move for him in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with a move for Huddlestone this summer – they seem to be against the idea.
