Sheffield United and Southampton are keeping a close watch on Newcastle youngster Alfie Harrison as a summer scramble begins to take shape.
The 20-year-old midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and could be snapped up on a free if no new deal is agreed at St James’ Park.
Ontheminute.com understands that both Championship sides are monitoring Harrison’s situation closely ahead of a potential move when his Newcastle contract expires.
The former Manchester City prospect has impressed at Under-21 level and is seen as a low-risk, high-upside option.
Harrison has delivered goals and assists in Premier League 2 this season and continues to catch the eye despite limited senior chances. With first-team opportunities hard to come by on Tyneside, a move away is becoming increasingly likely.
Sheffield United and Southampton believe Harrison could be a bargain worth waiting for.
