Report: Newcastle still keen on Wolves speedster Ivan Cavaleiro.

According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle United like Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Ivan Cavaleiro having allegedly wanted him in the summer.

The Magpies drew 1-1 at Watford on Saturday afternoon, and Rafael Benitez will be keen on additions in January.

However, with Mike Ashley still at the club and no takeover deal imminent, spending may not be quite as high as Benitez would like next month.

More firepower will be wanted, and with Kenedy struggling right now, another winger appears to be on the radar.

The Daily Mail report that Newcastle remain keen on Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro, and could firm up their interest in January.

This comes after TEAMtalk reported that Benitez wanted Cavaleiro in August, but no deal materialised as Wolves kept hold of the speedster.

Now, with Wolves allegedly pursuing Portimonense winger Shoya Nakajima, and Diogo Jota returning to form of late, Newcastle may be wise to consider a cheeky bid for Cavaleiro.

Cavaleiro has hit three goals and one assist in 13 games this season, and Wolves would surely demand between £15million and £20million for the former Benfica man in January.
