Newcastle have had a £13.5m bid accepted for Norwich left back Jamal Lewis.

Lewis, 22, is currently on international duty with Northern Ireland but is attracting major interest this summer after impressing last season despite Norwich’s relegation.

Liverpool had a £10m bid turned down earlier in the summer as they looked for back up for Andy Robertson before turning elsewhere.

Newcastle now appear to be in the driving seat after tabling a bigger bid with Norwich clearly fearing they will lose him this summer.
