Newcastle are reportedly considering a double swoop for Burnley’s Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady this summer. Both players are out of contract at Turf Moor on July 1 and would be able to leave the club for free if fresh terms are not agreed.
Hendrick is in talks with Burnley over a new contract and has several clubs monitoring the situation, it is believed. The Clarets paid Derby £10m for the Irish midfielder four years ago and he has gone on to play more than 100 Premier League games for them.
Toon boss Steve Bruce is a big fan, according to Teamtalk, and is looking into the possibility of luring him to St James Park.
