According to a report in the Guardian, Fabian Delph has been discussed as a potential transfer target for Newcastle United.

Newcastle are looking to bring in a number of new players over the summer transfer window, after their promotion to the Premier League.

Rafael Benitez wants full command over transfers, and Delph is said to be a potential target.

The Manchester City midfielder has not played much this season, and his future at the Etihad Stadium is in doubt.

Whether Newcastle will make a bid remains to be seen, but he is seen as a potential target.

Another possible addition is that of Hull City winger Sam Clucas.

Newcastle have had scouts at the KC Stadium this season, and they have been tracking Clucas’ progress.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a rapid rise up the leagues, and has coped with the step up to the Premier League well this season.

Clucas has hit two goals in 33 appearances for Hull, and has been handed an important role for Marco Silva’s side.
