# Newcastle keen to sign Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro

Newcastle United are considering a move for Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro in the January transfer window, according to a report on [HITC](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/12/30/report-newcastle-still-keen-on-wolves-speedster-ivan-cavaleiro-1/).

The Magpies are desperate to strengthen their squad next month and Rafa Benitez has been keeping a close eye on Cavaleiro.

The speedy winger has recently been getting plenty of playing time for Wolves due to the injury suffered by Diogo Jota.

Benitez reportedly wanted to sign Cavaleiro in the summer transfer window but the move did not materialise.

With the current Newcastle wingers struggling to score goals, Cavaleiro is a player who has proved this season that he can find the net.

He has managed to get his name on the scoresheet three times in the top flight this season.

Managing to persuade him to leave Wolves could be a difficult task for Benitez and with Mike Ashley still as the owner of the club, spending money in January might not be a possibility.
