Newcastle United are reportedly among the clubs showing interest in highly-rated Rangers wunderkind Leon King, having only recently discovered the 18-year-old defender.
King played for Rangers against Liverpool in their recent Champions League clash at Anfield, and it’s clear he’s already good enough to compete on the biggest stage on a regular basis.
Newcastle would do well to try to win the race for his signature, although they are likely to face other big names like Manchester United and Leeds, according to reliable transfer news journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official Twitter account. see below…

Newcastle have done well since their new owners bought the club from Mike Ashley, with a huge investment in the team featuring big-name signings such as Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes, Sven Botman and Alexander Isak.
If they can bring in a young talent like King to build on over the next few years, the future could be very bright at St James’ Park.
