DEJAN KULUSEVSKI has reportedly been offered to Newcastle as Tottenham face the possibility of missing out on their loan star.
The Swedish forward, 23, joined Spurs on an 18-month loan from Juventus in January 2022.
Within the deal was a £29million obligation to buy providing the Lilywhites qualified for the Champions League.
But the North London club missed out on the top four this season and failed to qualify for any form of European competition.
Instead, they were offered first refusal when Juventus chiefs travelled to London to discuss terms.
And The Evening Chronicle are now reporting that Kulusveski is keen to play in the Champions League next season.

He joined Spurs at the same time as fellow Juventus man Rodrigo Bentancur – with both men impressing in North London.
Bentancur joined on a permanent transfer, but Tottenham are still yet to firm up a long-term deal for Kulusveski.
Speaking at the end of the season, the Sweden international said: “I honestly don’t know [what will happen], I just focus on doing the best possible on the pitch.
“Now of course I have to talk to the club and then we’ll see what happens.”
