​Newcastle United are poised to move for Hull City's unsettled winger Robert Snodgrass.





The Scotland international recently turned down a new contract offer at the KCOM Stadium, alerting the Magpies who are looking to bolster their options out wide.





According to the ​Daily Star, Snodgrass is also being eyed by West Brom but Newcastle may have an edge as the report also claims he favours a move to St James' Park.

Snodgrass would cost around £5m but that is a price Rafael Benitez is willing to meet, with the Newcastle boss wary of losing Christian Atsu to the Africa Cup of Nations for up to four weeks. Yoan Gouffran is also expected to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.





Benitez is also keen to recruit a player with proven Premier League experience seeing that Newcastle will be promoted if they keep up their current form - they are top of the Championship on 49 points, one ahead of Brighton but nine ahead of third-placed Reading.

Snodgrass is at the peak of his abilities, and has been Hull's outstanding player in an otherwise miserable campaign, scoring seven goals in 16 appearances in all competitions.





However, despite seeing their offer of a contract renewal rejected, Hull will be keen to hold on to the winger until at least the end of the season as he is key to their hopes of avoiding relegation.
