Atletico Madrid forward Alvaro Morata has been loosely linked with a potential move to the North East. The 29-year-old is also said to be attracting interest from Arsenal.
Having been on loan in Serie A with Juventus most recently, the former Chelsea man seems to be a bit of standstill as to where his immediate future lies. The Bianconeri have expressed no desire at present regarding a full-time switch for the nomadic striker.
With the Magpies expected to be busy once more in the upcoming transfer window, forward Hugo Ekitike looks set to sign, despite whispers Morata could also be of interested for the club this summer.
