According to The Northern Echo, Newcastle United scouts have watched Chelsea’s Kyle Scott for over a year.

Newcastle are set to sign Scott from Chelsea, and they are pushing ahead with the deal, despite the managerial uncertainty around St. James’ Park.

Newcastle’s transfer moves have generally put on hold, while Rafael Benitez’s future is sorted.

Benitez has just weeks left on his contract at Newcastle, and he still hasn’t penned a new deal.

The Magpies are not sanctioning any moves, as they don’t know who will be in charge.

However, Newcastle have made an exception for Scott, who they think could be a great addition.

Newcastle have been watching the 21-year-old for a considerable amount of time, and he has been recommended by their scouting team.

With Scott available on a free transfer Newcastle knew they had to move fast to snap him up, and it seems as if they have got their man.
