Marco Asensio is the latest in a long line of superstar names linked with a move to Newcastle United this summer. The Real Madrid winger is naturally back in the headlines as he enters the final year of his contract in the Spanish capital.
26-years-old, the third-highest scorer at Real Madrid last season, 235 appearances for Los Blancos, three Champions League medals, three La Liga titles and 28 caps for his native Spain. If Newcastle manage to pull off a deal then it would mark a coup of unprecedented proportions for Eddie Howe 's side.
As usual with a player of Asensio's ilk, the big guns of European football are always circling. Manchester United and Liverpool have been heavily tipped to sign the winger in recent months as his agents test the water to see whether a big move is on the cards.
