Newcastle United close in on second summer signing as winger heads to Bundesliga
Newcastle United are close to announcing their second summer signing with Republic of Ireland international Jeff Hendrick on Tyneside to complete the formalities of his free transfer switch.
The Burnley midfielder was released from his Clarets deal this summer, after a four-year stint at Turf Moor – and United are thought to have beaten the likes of Everton to the former Derby County man’s signature.
Hendrick is likely to provide midfield competition for the likes of Isaac Hayden, Sean Longstaff and Jonjo Shelvey, while a new deal for Matty Longstaff is yet to be 100% ruled out this summer.
