According to reports from Brentwood Gazette, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham will look to seal a cut-price deal for Newcastle United midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum during the summer transfer window.
The Netherlands international moved to Tyneside from PSV last summer in a £14.5million transfer and has gone on to bag nine goals and three assists in the Premier League, whilst averaging 1.3 created chances and 1.6 successful dribbles per match.

But that impressive output has not been enough to prevent the Magpies’ slump towards the Premier League’s trap door and according to Brentwood Gazette, the 25-year-old would be open to a summer transfer if the 19th-place side are relegated to the Championship.
The regional newspaper further claim that should Newcastle fail to beat the drop, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham will both pursue cut-price deals for the versatile midfielder, who can operate as a winger, a no.10 or a centre-mid.
Brentwood Gazette fail to report a potential transfer fee, but This Is Futbol speculate it would likely be around the £8million-£10million mark.
