Newcastle United are interested in the services of Rob Holding who they would like to bring in on loan.
Arsenal are reported to be open to offers for Holding who has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are also on the verge of making a big £27m summer signing for Lille centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes.
Holding will be allowed to leave the club if and once Magalhaes' deal goes through to join Mikel Arteta's side.
However, Newcastle will have to be wary to fend off other suitors, with Leeds United also believed to be interested in the signing of Holding.
Marcelo Bielsa like Steve Bruce is looking at defensive options to strengthen his team ahead of their first season back in the Premier League.
