Tottenham have been linked with a possible summer move for Cheick Tiote.
The midfielder has impressed for Newcastle United since joining them last summer for £3.5m and Chelsea and Manchester United have been suggested as possible destinations in the past.
It is thought the Magpies would be unlikely to sell the 25-year-old when the transfer window reopens next month but they could be tempted by an offer in excess of £20m at the end of the current campaign.
