Newcastle United have expressed an interest in signing Hull City defender Harry Maguire, according to reports.
Over the course of this season, the 23-year-old has broken into the Tigers' starting lineup and established himself as a key member of their backline.
According to The Sun, Magpies manager Rafael Benitez is keen to strengthen in the centre of defence and he has identified Maguire as a potential signing should they reach the Premier League.
Newcastle are said to have set aside £12m for the purchase, while Maguire is reportedly keen to depart the KCOM Stadium if the right offer comes in.
However, it is suggested that Hull would want in the region of £15m if they were to consider parting ways with the centre-back, who is said to be on the radar of numerous other clubs.
