The Hull Daily Mail report that Newcastle, Everton and Tottenham are all monitoring Tigers centre back Harry Maguire. The local news outlet say the three clubs may make a move for the 24 year old in the summer to improve their defensive options.

Maguire was once again praised by pundits, including Toon legend Alan Shearer, for his display against Southampton in the 0-0 draw on Saturday, and the defender is widely tipped to leave the Kcom stadium if Hull are relegated from the Premier League.

The centre half broke into the first team back in December and has been an integral part of the club’s revival under manager Marco Silva in recent months. The Tigers currently sit two points outside of the drop zone with three games to go after looking dead and buried at the turn of the New Year.

Maguire’s ability both in the air, and with the ball at his feet, have impressed onlookers, and it seems Magpies manager Rafa Benitez may also be one of his admirers.
