Cantwell has made eight appearances for Norwich in the league this season, but failed to register a goal or an assist.

Norwich (20th) and Newcastle (19th) are the two bottom teams in the league after 19 games and will likely be in a relegation fight this season, sitting three and two points from safety respectively.

Will Cantwell leave Norwich?

"I've been told today that it would require a bid of around £15m to £20m for Norwich to consider selling Cantwell in this transfer window.

"People will say why would he be worth that much if he's only got six months left on his current deal? Well, Norwich do have a slight advantage in this because they have an option of a further year that they could exercise.

"So, really it would be 18 months on his contract so they could charge that extra few million if they were to sell him in this transfer window."

Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downie brings us the latest from Newcastle's training ground as Kieran Trippier arrives at the club.

Newcastle's new Saudi-backed owners are due to make Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier their first signing, and have plans to make three further additions this month.

Trippier has arrived in the North East to complete the final steps of his £12m transfer from Atletico.

Atletico hoped Trippier would stay, but the defender made it clear he wanted to return to England.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe worked with Trippier while in charge of Burnley, signing the right-back from Manchester City in January 2012 after an impressive loan spell at Turf Moor.
