Report: Newcastle United keen on 16-year-old striker Mipo Odubeko who recently left Manchester United

According to The Sun, Newcastle United are keen on The Republic of Ireland Under-17 international Mipo Odubeko who recently left Manchester United.

The 16-year-old scored 35 goals for Red Devils’ academy side last season, and was due to sign a new contract on July 1.

However, the teenage striking sensation rejected their offer and is now a free agent.

Bayern Munich, Feyenoord, Genoa and Burnley are also keen on the Nigerian-born Odubeko, and Newcastle will have to convince him of a quicker pathway to senior football to have a chance of pipping suitors to his signature.
