Top clubs keen on Lascelles
Newcastle United are not only facing a fight to stay in the Premier League, but they're facing a fight to keep their best players.
That's according to the Chronicle, who claim both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Jamaal Lascelles.
The defender is highly rated, with his English nationality only a further bonus.
Both Chelsea and Spurs are keen to add a top class defender to their ranks, and the Newcastle man is an attractive prospect.
However, the club are keen to keep their best players, and would be resistant to any approaches.
The ball is in their court, with Lascelles under contract until 2023.
Newcastle problems
Of course, keeping a centre back is the least of Newcastle's worries.
The club are concerned with the threat of relegation.
Sitting close to the bottom of the Premier League, it's been a hard season for the club so far.
The lack of investment in the club has been a huge issue.
Mike Ashley doesn't seem willing to pour money in, and it's caused huge issues with the fans and Benitez.
Now, with rumours over Benitez's own future doing the rounds, it seems things are going from bad to worse.
