Wolves contacted by Newcastle over potential summer move for £42million man - Report

Spanish newspaper SPORT are reporting that Newcastle, Arsenal and Manchester United have all made contact with Wolves in a bid to beat Barcelona to the signing of Ruben Neves.

The West Midlands club will supposedly demand "close to a record transfer" for the Portuguese international, with a £42million asking price placed on his head.

Throughout his time at Molyneux, the former Porto man has been a consistent performer playing over 200 games since joining in 2017 - has averaged over 35 games a season in his four years in the top flight.

At just 25-years-old, Neves still has a lot to prove in the Premier League and could certainly be part of a long-term project at St James' Park should we choose to go down that route.

With Howe expected to be in the market for another central midfielder this summer, he would be a statement of intent alongside Bruno Guimaraes and another quality addition - although it may take big money and plenty of persuading to win this transfer battle, if true!
