Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique believes Leeds United's Jack Harrison is the right man for Newcastle if Eddie Howe wants to sign the 25-year-old.
The winger was one of Leeds' key players this season, scoring the goal that secured the Whites survival on the final day of the Premier League season against Brentford in stoppage time.
Newcastle were said to be keen on signing Harrison from Leeds in the event the latter went down this season.

However, their survival now means Leeds could either keep Harrison, who is contracted to the club until 2024, or demand more money from Newcastle. A fee of £25m has been mooted.
Money is no object to the new iteration of Newcastle and they could really test Leeds' resolve this summer. The Magpies, under the stewardship of Eddie Howe, invested heavily in January, signing the likes of Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes.
Howe played a key role in Newcastle's revival, which saw them go from relegation candidates to an 11th place Premier League finish.
And Enrique reckons if Harrison is the play Howe wants, then Newcastle should do everything they can to sign the Leeds winger.
"If Eddie believes he’s the right player for Newcastle, I believe it," Enrique told Genting Casino.
“Klopp won the manager of the season but Eddie is right up there with him and if Harrison is a player that he wants, then they should sign him.”
