Newcastle United continue to scour Brazil for the country's best young talent as sporting director Dan Ashworth and head of recruitment Steve Nickson look for raw gems to bolster the club's youth setup.
Interest in Vasco da Gama youngster Andrey Santos, 18, has been heavily reported in recent months, with the defensive midfielder catching the eye in Brazil's second tier. Now it is the turn of team-mate, Eguinaldo.
