Does Ivan Cavaleiro have a future at Wolverhampton Wanderers? Newcastle United are reportedly keen to find out.
Ivan Cavaleiro has been the subject of plenty of transfer speculation this summer and that will only continue now Wolves have broken their transfer record to sign another winger, the £18 million man Adama Traore.
The Express and Star did report last week that Wolves wanted to hang on to the Portuguese U21 international regardless of whether or not Traore made the move from Middlesbrough.
But Cavaleiro certainly has his work cut out being a regular starter next season, particularly with Diogo Jota and Helder Costa already fighting for a place out wide.
As a result, TEAMtalk is claiming that Newcastle United are hoping to take advantage and bring the former Monaco winger to St James’ Park before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
It is reported that Rafa Benitez would love to sign the 24-year-old and the Magpies – who have finally clicked into gear recently with the signings of Salomon Rondon, Yoshinori Muto and Fabian Schar – willing to splash out on the powerful winger.
Cavaleiro was fantastic as Wolves cruised to the Championship title last season, scoring nine goals and setting up 12 more. He moved to the Black Country in 2016, costing £7 million.
