According to BBC, Steve Bruce wanted to sign the 29-year-old as a replacement for Jetro Willems. The Newcastle defender has been ruled out for the season with an injury.
Rose had fallen out of favour at Spurs and he was being linked with a move away for a while now. He has made just 5 appearances since Mourinho’s arrival.
It will be interesting to see how he performs at Newcastle United. The move could prove to be ideal for him at this stage of his career.
He will be able to make a fresh start and regain his sharpness with regular football at Newcastle.
