Newcastle United continues to assess attacking options ahead of January, with Sporting CP winger Geny Catamo remaining on the club’s radar after the Magpies previously scouted the Mozambique international.
According to TEAMtalk’s Graeme Bailey, Newcastle has now carried out further work on the 25-year-old and could challenge Sunderland for his signature if the Magpies decide to turn their interest into an active pursuit.
Sunderland made Catamo its leading right-wing target during the summer and was reportedly prepared to pay up to €40 million. Sporting refused to sell, insisting on a figure around the player’s €60 million (£50.3 million) release clause.
