Newcastle United to offer Mike Williamson in part-exchange for Lewis Dunk?

Newcastle United will reportedly offer Mike Williamson in a swap deal for Brighton & Hove Albion defender Lewis Dunk.

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from The Amex this summer, with Fulham thought to have been the frontrunners to land the centre-back.

According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle are also keen to sign the Englishman and could offer long-serving Williamson as part of a bid to tempt Brighton into selling their star asset.

Dunk, who is said to be valued at around £5m by the Championship club, played a full part in Albion's Championship opener against Nottingham Forest last Friday.
