In The People two days ago -
NEWCASTLE, meanwhile, are chasing Peruvian starlet Paolo Hurtado – the new Nobby Solano – as Joey Barton’s potential replacement.
The Toon have been tracking the Alianza Lima attacker for months after seeing him play for his country’s Under-20 side and they are teeing up a deal.
Hurtado plays in the same position with a similar style to Geordie hero Solano.
There will certainly be problems obtaining a work permit but the Magpies are researching to see if Hurtado, 20, has a European background so that he can qualify under those rules.
Should be off now anyway.
