Newcastle United are said to be interested in taking Leeds United duo Kalvin Phillips and Jack Clarke this summer.

Newcastle United fans appear to be keen on seeing Leeds United duo Kalvin Phillips and Jack Clarke at St. James’ Park next season.

TeamTalk have suggested that Newcastle have an interest in the Leeds pair, who have been in excellent form at Championship level this season.

Newcastle could even offer Leeds Dwight Gayle in exchange for the pair, although the striker’s wage demands may scupper that potential move for the Whites.

And Magpies fans are hoping that their side can find a way to buy both Clarke and Phillips this summer.

Out of the pair, Phillips would arguably be the bigger loss to Leeds if he was to leave Elland Road for Newcastle.

The defensive midfielder has been one of the key players in Marcelo Bielsa’s side over the past campaign.

Clarke has played more sporadically, but he has still shown glimpses of quality when given a chance at Leeds.

Newcastle’s budget for the summer is still not yet known, with the North East club currently trying to tie down Rafael Benitez with a new contract.
