Newcastle United are interested in signing Ross Barkley this summer, according to reports from The Athletic.
The Magpies have prioritised the signing of Joe Willock from Arsenal this summer. The 21-year-old impressed heavily on loan last season, and his ability to arrive late in the box and drive the ball forward would provide a different dimension in their attack.
Apart from Willock, Newcastle are also keeping checks on a host of midfielders, including Barkley. The Magpies are looking to sign a box-to-box midfielder, and have considered Barkley as an option.
Barkley joined Chelsea in 2018 from Everton, but he has failed to replicate the form he showed during his time at Goodison Park.
