The youngster knows Kevin Keegan is "desperate" for two defenders and will sign them before the start of the season, putting the Canadian international further down the pecking order.
Edgar has asked for a loan spell at a Championship club, with former Toon boss Glenn Roeder willing to take him to Norwich City ... allegedly if Newcastle pay half his wages.

Posing the question ... who has the final say? Keegan or Wise?
