A section of the Newcastle United faithful took an unexpected interest in the Maurice Revello tournament last week - but more attention was awarded to a non-Magpies player than one already in the club's youth setup.
Hugo Ekitike had the spotlight firmly aimed on him as he helped France win the youth tournament, despite picking up an injury during the semi-finals. Newcastle are hoping to secure a deal for the 19-year-old sensation this summer, with an agreement reached with Reims in recent weeks.
But Newcastle United 's very own Santiago Munoz also shone during the competition, playing a crucial role in Mexico U20's journey to a third-place finish. The attacker started all five games at the tournament, coming up against Ekitike's France in the semis.
