Toon Brazil nuts over Nas
Apr 26 2009 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun
NEWCASTLE have a made a fresh check on Slovakia-based teenage Brazilian central defender Dionatan Nascimento.
Magpies’ scouts flew out to watch Nascimento – still just 16 – play for MFK Kosice in a league game against DAC Dunajska Streda last night.
Nascimento made his first-team debut last Saturday, having spent a week-long trial at United along with club-mate and fellow defender Lubomir Korijkov last month.
But Newcastle have missed out on 16-year-old Walsall striker Richard Penekit.
Despite interest from the Magpies, Manchester United, Liverpool, West Brom and Birmingham, Penekit has agreed to join Fulham.
