However, Newcastle United is not the only club that is interested in the 25-year-old. Real Sociedad have already expressed their interest in Chukwueze, making an approach to Milan last week.

Chukwueze joined AC Milan from Villarreal in 2023 but has struggled for consistent playing time at the San Siro. He has scored just twice in 18 Serie A appearances for Sergio Conceicao's side this season.

The Nigerian winger's pace, dribbling ability, and direct running style could make him a valuable asset to Newcastle United.

However, the Magpies will face competition from Real Sociedad and potentially other interested clubs in their pursuit of the talented winger.
