Newcastle United skipper and centre-back Jamaal Lascelles is currently out injured, and the defensive powerhouse is presently in Dubai. Lascelles is keeping himself in shape ahead of his return to action, and he has been pictured with one of head coach Steve Bruce’s January transfer targets James Tavernier. The Rangers right-back and captain is with the squad for a training camp at United Arab Emirates, but could he be at Saint James Park for the second half of the campaign? According to The Sun, Newcastle have stepped up their interest in the full-back, and Bruce sent scouts to run the rule over him during last month’s clash between Rangers and Celtic.
