Newcastle United have reportedly made contact with the representatives of AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori to discuss a possible move to St James' Park during this summer's transfer window.
The Magpies are believed to have identified Tomori as a leading target during the current market.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle have been in touch with Tomori's agents to discuss what would be required to bring the Englishman to the club this summer.
The report claims that Magpies head coach Eddie Howe is determined to sign one central defender ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
How does Amadou Onana compare to Arsenal's current midfielders?

Arsenal have apparently taken the first step towards bolstering their ranks for the 2024-25 season, as a report from the Liverpool Echo claims that contact has been made over a move for Everton's Amadou Onana.
The Belgium international - currently away with his country at Euro 2024 - has already spoken of his desire to represent a distinguished European club at some point in the near future, and Arsenal certainly fit the bill.
Mikel Arteta is understood to have been an admirer of Onana's qualities for some time and is known to be chasing a new defensive midfield enforcer in the current window, but it could take around £50m to prise him away from Goodison Park.
Such a price tag should not prove too problematic for a club of Arsenal's calibre, though, and using data from FBRef from the 2023-24 Premier League season, Sports Mole analyses how Onana compares to Gunners trio Declan Rice, Thomas Partey and Jorginho.
Kroos replacement? Real Madrid-linked midfielder discusses future

PSV Eindhoven midfielder Joey Veerman has played down suggestions that he could make the move to Real Madrid during this summer's transfer window.
Toni Kroos's retirement has led to claims that Los Blancos may bring in a new central midfielder ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, with Veerman thought to be a target.
However, the 25-year-old, who is currently with the Netherlands squad at Euro 2024, has played down the speculation lining him with a switch to the Spanish capital.
Veerman was in impressive form for PSV during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring seven goals and registering 19 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.
Deal imminent? Man Utd's Greenwood 'agrees' terms with European powerhouses
Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus ahead of a potential move to the Italian giants during this summer's transfer window.
The Englishman spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Getafe, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and registering six assists in the process.
Earlier this year, Man United's new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe suggested that there could be a route for Greenwood back into the first team at Old Trafford.
However, he is widely expected to leave this summer, with a number of clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, credited with an interest in his services.
Palace's £14m signing makes Haaland claim after leaving Barca

Chadi Riad is relishing the opportunity to face the Premier League's most formidable opponents after becoming Crystal Palace's first signing of the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a five-year contract until June 2029 and joins the Eagles from La Liga giants Barcelona in a deal believed to be worth an initial £12m plus £2m in add-ons.
Riad made just one senior appearance during his time at Barca, but he established himself as a first-team regular on loan at Real Betis last season, starting 26 La Liga games for a side that secured a seventh-placed finish in the Spanish top flight.
Palace moved quickly to secure the services of the Morocco international, who has been described by chairman Steve Parish as "an exciting young player" who "adds quality to a squad already packed with talent and potential".
