da realbet: There are a number of Premier League clubs that would like to sign Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles.

It would probably be fair to say that Lascelles is Newcastle’s most saleable asset, meanwhile, and he would fetch a healthy transfer fee if placed on the market.
West Ham United and Liverpool have both been linked with the defender, whilst Leicester City are also said to be monitoring developments, with Harry Maguire’s future still unclear.
