Newcastle will demand £27m for Georginio Wijnaldum but are yet to receive a single bid, according to Sky sources.

Wijnaldum is a summer target for Everton, while Tottenham have been widely linked with a move for the Dutch midfielder, who cost Newcastle £14.5m a year ago.

But Sky Sports News HQ understands there has been no official approach either for Wijnaldum or Moussa Sissoko, who has a £35m price tag after impressing for France at Euro 2016.

Rafa Benitez insists Sissoko is not for sale, and the Newcastle boss has taken Wijnaldum on the club's pre-season tour of Ireland as he prepares for the new Championship campaign.
