Hanley has been out of favour with Rafa Benitez for most of his time on Tyneside and is cleared to sort out the move.

Norwich would sign Hanley for a low fee or take him for the season on loan, with Benitez keen to get him off the payroll.

Benitez is keen to offload a number of players to raise funds for some late transfer swoops.

Dutchman Siem de Jong has rejoined Ajax after failing to strike gold in English football.

While Dwight Gayle could be sacrificed following the arrival of Joselu.

A new goalkeeper is wanted at St James’ Park, with Pepe Reina at the top of Benitez’s wishlist.

But the Spaniard is also wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and could opt to move to France instead.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are plotting an £8m move for Iceland striker Vidar Orn Kjartansson.

While Argentina left-back Nicolas Tagliafico is another attracting interest from Benitez.
