Newcastle United are considering a second raid on Kilmarnock with Bobby Wales very much in their sights.
The Magpies had the Scotland under-17 cap watched again this week as he created two goals against St Johnstone’s second string on Tuesday. Newcastle have had a string of reports from area scouts but it has now been ramped up a notch.
Wales is already highly-rated at Killie and has already been rewarded with a full-time contract until 2024. It would take a lucrative offer for the Ayrshire side to even consider cashing in on one of their rising stars although money will be little object for the big-spending Geordies. Newcastle are actively looking to strengthen their under-age and development squad and the 17-year-old striker is very much a live option. But Wales is also attracting interest from a number of other English clubs including Sheffield United.
