NEWCASTLE are reportedly preparing a sensational double swoop for Jack Harrison and Carney Chukwuemeka.
Eddie Howe’s side are looking to add the Premier League pair to their ranks as they continue to rebuild the squad following their Saudi-led takeover.
Jack Harrison will reportedly cost Newcastle £35m this summer
Newcastle are in the mix for Aston Villa’s England wonderkid Carney Chukwuemeka
Leeds United’s Harrison scored their final goal of the season last year, as a sensational victory over Brentford saw them survive relegation in dramatic circumstances.
Chukwuemeka meanwhile has put himself on the map following a fantastic U19 European Championship campaign, where he helped England to victory.
However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed the promising 18-year-old could be set to leave Aston Villa this summer, given that he only has a year left on his contract.
It is claimed Barcelona are leading the pack for the midfielder, the Daily Mail have suggested Newcastle are firmly interested in a deal.
The report goes on to claim their interest stretches to Harrison too, although Jesse March’s side have set a £35million price tag on his name.
This may not put off the Magpies though, with their manager a great admirer of the 25-year-old.
He will be looking to lead his side in a similar vein to how they finished last season, with the prospect of relegation completely gone with a fair few games still to play.
They have been praised for their transfer business so far since operating under new ownership, securing coups of Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes back in January.

The arrivals of Nick Pope and Sven Botman from Lille will encourage fans.
Guimaraes is confident Newcastle can even break into the top six next season.
He said: “We can surprise the others. We have quality and the coach is so intelligent, we can do it.
“We dream of the Champions League.
“We know the big six have good teams so we need to be calm – step by step we can arrive there.
“This is only the beginning. We can dream higher.”
