According to The Athletic, Newcastle received encouragement they could land Jack Harrison from Leeds United on latter stages of transfer window.
Eddie Howe was keen on signing the 25-year-old but Leeds rejected two bids close to £25m from the Tyneside club last month.

Former Man City star has enjoyed a good start of the season, scoring once and assisting three more for the Yorkshire club.
Leeds were keen on keeping Jack Harrison unless a lucrative offer came for him, as they already lost Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips this transfer window.
