Burnley's Dwight McNeil celebrates scoring his side's second goal

Newcastle United fans are reacting to reports linking the Magpies with a move for the Burnley winger, Dwight McNeil.

According to the Daily Star, Newcastle have joined the list of clubs tracking McNeil, who only made his senior debut at the start of this season.

Despite that, the 19-year-old has made quite an impression in recent months, scoring or assisting eight goals in his last 16 Premier League outings.

Burnley were quick to react, handing him a new four-year contract at the start of 2019.

And some of a Newcastle persuasion fear that he – along with the linked Bournemouth wingers, David Brooks and Ryan Fraser – could now be out of their reach.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Manchester City, Arsenal and Everton are also said to have watched McNeil – who joined Burnley from Manchester United in 2015.

Newcastle spent a club-record fee of around £20 million for the Paraguayan winger, Miguel Almiron, in the January transfer window.
