Newcastle United want to sign the left-back on loan before the transfer window closes with Arsenal's Kieran Tierney and Chelsea's Mark Cucurella interested.
Only one will arrive at Tyneside, but Newcastle have reason to believe that both would like to make a move and hope for progress in the negotiations.
