Toon track Leeds youngster Byram as they aim to fill defensive hole

Newcastle are monitoring Leeds’ highly-rated right back Sam Byram as he continues his recovery from injury.
Byram, who turned 20 on Monday, is the best full back in the Championship and was being watched by a number of Barclays Premier League clubs before injuring his hip at the end of last season.
The defender continued his rehabilitation when he appeared for Leeds’ Under-21 development team against Birmingham.
Byram won five separate player of the year awards last season and is valued by Leeds at around £6m.
Newcastle signed Mathieu Debuchy to play in the position last season, but they are short of cover after losing Danny Simpson to QPR.
