NO JO-KE Tottenham and Newcastle join three other Premier League teams in transfer battle for PSV star Johan Bakayoko
TOTTENHAM and Newcastle have made last-minute checks on PSV’s Belgian winger Johan Bakayoko.

Both clubs sent their top men to watch Bakayoko, 20, against Rangers in their Champions League qualifier last week.
PSV star Johan Bakayoko is being tracked by a number of Premier League clubs
Bakayoko has been linked with Liverpool, Everton and even Burnley.
But their Premier League rivals are now taking a bigger interest in the last week of the window.
He will be checked again in the return leg where defeat for the Dutch side could make them more open to a sale.
Bakayoko is currently valued in the £25-30million range.
Newcastle could do with improving their options out wide and Spurs are always keen on young improvers.
Bakayoko bagged two assists in PSV's 2-2 draw with Rangers and has scored seven goals for the Eredivisie team.
Tottenham still have a heavy interest in adding firepower, with talks for £50m-rated Brennan Johnson reportedly set to get underway this week.
Spurs put in a composed performance as they beat Bournemouth 2-0 on yesterday.
James Maddison scored the opening goal, rounding off a neat team move.
The England playmaker had the last laugh at the Vitality Stadium and poked fun at a few rude home fans on social media.
Dejan Kulusevski added the second just after the hour mark on the south coast to fire Spurs temporarily top of the table.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are in action against Liverpool later today.
