NEWCASTLE are interested in signing Arsenal star Kieran Tierney and Chelsea's Marc Cucurella, according to reports.
Both players are available to leave their respective clubs after falling down the pecking order.
But agreeing a deal could prove tricky for Newcastle as financial fair play restrictions means they are seeking a loan deal.
The Magpies completed a deal to sign full-back Tino Livramento last week for £30million.
So now they are seeking a loan deal for either Tierney or Cucurella that includes an option or obligation to make the move permanent, report The Telegraph.
Newcastle believe both players would be keen to join, but both Arsenal and Chelsea would need persuading.

Toon would be happy to cover the defender's wages but Arsenal could reject an approach for Tierney as they perceive Newcasle to be a top four rival.
They also want to cash in on the Scot this summer having spent big on the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
Newcaslte face a similar problem in dealing with Chelsea, who have favoured selling their stars this summer to ease their own FFP concerns.
It is understood Newcastle will offer the Blues a small loan fee for Cucurella and an option or obligation to buy.

But Chelsea bought the defender for £60m last summer so hope to bring in a portion of that fee.
The imminent £115m capture of Moises Caicedo also means the club may be under pressure to sell players, rather than loan them out.
