Demarai Gray is demanding assurances from Leicester as the club are linked with a number of forwards.
According to a report in The Mirror the Newcastle target is growing concerned about his future and seeking talks with Craig Shakespeare.
Leicester paid £3.5m to Birmingham City for the winger in January 2016 but so far his role has mainly been off the bench.
After impressing for England’s u21 side Gray is keen for his career to kick on and would welcome the chance of a move to Newcastle.
Rafa Benitez has made signing a pacey wide player a priority with Gray ticking all the boxes for the Newcastle boss who is desperate to add to his squad.
Liverpool and Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the 21-year-old but a move to St James’ Park would offer Gray the best opportunity of first team football and the chance to advance his international prospects.
