Newcastle United have reportedly entered the race to sign Marcus Tavernier from Bournemouth as they look to add creativity to their midfield.

Tavernier has been a standout performer on the south coast and has also attracted interest from West Ham and Manchester United.

Eddie Howe is keen to bolster his squad depth after seeing his side struggle with energy levels in recent high intensity matches.

Bournemouth are expected to demand a significant fee for the versatile attacker who still has several years left on his current deal.
