Newcastle United are said to be interested in snapping up Rafa Silva from Benfica.

Benfica's midfielder Rafa Silva celebrates after scoring during the Portuguese league football match SL Benfica vs GD Chaves at the Luz stadium in Lisbon on February 24, 2017.

Newcastle United fans are excited over rumours that Rafa Silva could be on their radar this summer.

Newcastle are said to be interested in the Benfica playmaker, who has caught the eye this season.

Rafa Silva’s agent Antonio Araujo has been quoted by Radio Renascenca in Portugal suggesting that Newcastle are interested in his client.

And Magpies fans are keen to see Rafa Silva brought to St. James’ Park.

Silva has played 24 games for Benfica in the Portuguese league this season, scoring on 15 occasions.

If he was to join Newcastle he would offer them a new attacking outlet, and would surely strengthen Rafael Benitez’s options in attack.

Newcastle spent big on Miguel Almiron in January, but it is thought that Benitez still wants to make improvements to his side’s attack next season, if he does stick around on Tyneside.
