Newcastle United transfer report: Gabriel Pires back on Magpies' radar after impressing in LaLiga

Newcastle are ready to rekindle their interest in Leganes midfielder Gabriel Pires.

The Magpies are looking to construct a squad capable of holding its own in the Premier League after securing an instant return and, according to Marca, the Brazilian ace is among their early targets.

The 23-year-old has stood out for the Spanish side this season, despite their battle against relegation from LaLiga.

He has managed five goals in 32 league appearances so far this term and Leganes are bracing themselves for summer interest.

Newcastle were keen on signing him in January and it was reported that a loan move was almost completed.
