Newcastle United's head of recruitment Steve Nickson has been back to Brazil for another scouting mission.
Nickson was in the stands to see long-term Toon target Gabriel Barbosa grab the winner in Flamengo's 2-1 win over Santos at Vila Belmiro. The United talent spotter was in South America to run a check on Barbosa - who is available for a move this summer - as well as take a look at Ângelo Gabriel according to Globo Esporte.
Angelo is deemed Brazil's latest wonderkid with the Serie A youngster shining for the world famous Santos. Nickson's connections in Brazil are well known by now after the signing of Joelinton for £40million in 2019 and the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes this year.
