Newcastle is the latest club to be linked with Blackburn winger Junior Hoilett just one day after Tottenham was also linked with a move for the talented youngster.
Blackburn are determined to keep hold of the 21-year-old and have entered negotiations about a new contract for the midfielder.
Hoilett has been one of the brightest stars for Blackburn over the past two seasons, despite the club struggling at the wrong end of the table.
This impressive form has led to both Spurs and Newcastle keeping a close eye on contract negotiations as Hoilett's current deal expires in the summer.
Blackburn hope they can convince the winger to stay at Ewood Park, but are hoping that if they are forced to sell then he signs a new deal in which there would be a release clause in the contract.
The same was done with Manchester United defender Phil Jones who had a £16.5million clause inserted in the last deal he signed with Blackburn.
Newcastle has enjoyed a fantastic start to the season and currently sits in fourth place, while Tottenham have won their last four Premier League games.
Spurs view the winger as potential competition for Aaron Lennon who has so far struggled to recreate his best form, while Newcastle are keen to bring another young player to their squad after the success of Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa.
