Newcastle linked with a move for Piero Hincapie

Newcastle United are thought to be interested in signing the Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie this summer.

The 19-year-old has had an impressive season with CA Talleres and his performances have caught the attention of Real Betis and Atletico Madrid as well. The defender is already a first-team player for his country.

According to Diario de Sevilla, the 19-year-old would be a future prospect for the Premier League side.

The Magpies could definitely use some defensive reinforcements this summer but Hincapie is unlikely to be a first-team player for them next year.
