Newcastle United have been linked with Leicester City winger Tom Lawrence recently.
According to a report in the Chronicle, Newcastle United are ready to make a move for Leicester City winger Tom Lawrence this summer, after tracking him throughout last campaign.
Lawrence spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town, and his performances in the Championship suggest that the Welsh international could be a hugely exciting addition for Newcastle to make.
Although the former Manchester United youngster has very little Premier League experience, he appears to have the ability to make an impact at the very top level.
Lawrence scored nine goals and claimed 11 assists in 34 Championship appearances last term, and regularly tore defences in the second tier apart.
At the age of 23, Lawrence still has a lot of room to develop – and he could be a great fit at Newcastle.
The Magpies already have a collection of good options out wide – with Matt Ritchie, Christian Atsu and Rolando Aarons all likely to pose a threat – and Lawrence’s arrival would only make Rafael Benitez’s options even stronger in the wing positions.
It makes the signing appear a hugely exciting one for Newcastle, and if they can complete a deal, they will have an attacking line-up which is the envy of many of their Premier League rivals.
