Newcastle are unlikely to reignite their interest for Tierney as they have already agreed a £28million permanent signing of Chelsea left-back Lewis Hall following a loan spell at St James’ Park. The Magpies have also agreed a free transfer for Lloyd Kelly, who can also play at left-back.

Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Tino Livramento and Matt Targett are also options for Eddie Howe in that position as things stand. But Trippier and Target in particular are facing uncertain futures at Newcastle this summer.

Trippier is heading into the final year of his contract and has been subject to transfer interest from Saudi Arabia following a bid from Bayern Munich back in January.
