Wolves defender Leo Shahar is emerging as a surprise target for Newcastle United.
The 16-year-old is wanted by the Magpies, who are ready to pay up to secure his signature.
The teenager has played ten times for the England Under-16s and is very highly rated.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano states that negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing.
Newcastle are making a concentrated push to improve their first team and academy squads.
The Magpies know that Premier League and UEFA financial restrictions mean that signing top youth players is a potentially valuable policy moving forward.
