According to The Chronicle, Newcastle United are monitoring Inter Milan striker Gabriel Barbosa, aka Gabigol, and they ran the rule over the Brazilian during weekend’s Copa Libertadores final.
The 23-year-old is currently on loan with Flamengo, and his late brace helped the side to victory in the 2-1 win against Argentinian outfit River Plate.
Newcastle currently have one Brazilian striker on their books in summer arrival Joelinton, but with just a goal in 13 league appearances since his £45 million club-record move, it’s safe to say Steve Bruce’s side need another quality goalscorer, and Gabigol could be the answer to their woes in front of goal.
