Newcastle United have reportedly joined the list of clubs that are keen on Newport County striker Aaron Collins.

In recent weeks speculation has suggested that both Manchester United and Burnley, as well as a number of other unnamed teams, had been keeping tabs on the 18-year-old's development at Rodney Parade.

Now, according to the Newcastle Chronicle, the Magpies have registered their interest in the youngster, having scouted him during Newport's 1-0 win over Carlisle United at the weekend.

The Wales youth international has found the net twice for the League Two outfit this term.
