The Magpies are considering adding a new centre-back to their defensive department, while Burnley are on the lookout for a player to cover for James Tarkowski and Ben Mee.

 

Bartley, who has clocked regular game time for West Brom this term, has popped up on both Newcastle and Burnley’s radar.

 

 

The top flight duo are keeping close tabs on Bartley’s situation at West Brom, with the Baggies currently locked in a relegation battle.

 

If West Brom fail to stay afloat in the top flight, they could struggle to keep hold of their stars such as Bartley, who already has piqued the interest of rival clubs.

 

 

The 29-year-old is a fixture in the West Brom backline this season and has impressed in recent top flight outings, helping his team keep three clean sheets in five games.

 

However, he could opt to part ways with Sam Allardyce’s team if they lose their top flight status.

 

 

Newcastle are also under threat of dropping down to the Championship and failing to avoid the drop could also play a factor in which club Barley chooses as his next home should he leave West Brom.
