According to 90min, Andrey Santos isn’t the only Vasco Da Gama star Newcastle United are looking to sign in the new year.
Graeme Bailey reveals that the club have also been impressed by teammate Eguinaldo during scouting missions in South America, leading us to make an ‘enquiry’ about the fellow Brazilian.
The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene in Série B this season, scoring three times in just six starts – earning a call-up to the Brazil U20 squad as a result of his impressive displays.
So, he appears to be another one to watch in our ongoing pursuit to recruit some of the world’s most promising young talent, however a move for Andrey Santos appears to be more advanced.
90min report that we are ‘confident’ of sealing a January move for the highly-rated midfielder, stating that we’ve not been deterred by Vasco’s £20m demands.
He’s said to be a player we’ve tracked over the past 12 months, with ‘lines of communication’ remaining open between the two clubs since we showed interest over the summer.
With the club turning to South America following Garang Kuol’s arrival, it seems Santos and Eguinaldo could be ones to watch in January!
