NEWCASTLE are reportedly interested in Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.
The mega-rich Magpies are claimed to be monitoring the 25-year-old’s situation.
Neves’ Wolves contract expires at the end of next season.
And the Portuguese ace is on Newcastle’s wishlist, according to the Daily Mail.
However, as it stands there has been no contact with Wolves or with Neves’ representatives.
But Toon are thought to be keen on signing a holding midfielder this month.

Neves has plenty of Premier League experience, and has skippered Wolves this season with Conor Coady out on loan at Everton.
He has netted four times in 17 Prem games so far this campaign.
Neves has previously been linked with Arsenal and Barcelona.
Back in October, he revealed it would be a “privilege” to play for the Spanish giants.

Elsewhere, Manchester United are another team who have been linked with his signature in the past.
Now Newcastle have emerged as admirers, with Neves seemingly unlikely to sign a new contract with Wolves.
However, the Magpies will not make a big money signing this month unless someone picks up an injury or a good deal becomes available.
