Newcastle have just approached midfielder with £12.7m release clause ahead of January move
Newcastle are already looking towards the January transfer window after a disappointing summer of recruitment.
Paul Mitchell has been heavily criticised for his first transfer window as Director of Football on Tyneside, after failing to land Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, and also experiencing difficulty in signing a new♔ winger.
Now – however – Newcastle are looking to put things right in January…
Newcastle make contact to sign Kevin Zenon
A story from now states that Newcastle have already approached Boca Juniors No.22 Kevin Ze꧃no♚n about a move to St James’ Park in January.
The Argentinian꧑ news outlet believe Juan Roman Riquelme – President of Boca Juniors – is aware of the situation, and is desperate to keep the Argentina U23 international away from the Magpie⭕s.
However, the 46-year-old may well be powerless.

Boca Noticias add that Zenon has a €15m (£12.7m) release clause written into his contract with Boca Juniors, meaning Newcastle can immediately enter into discussions over personal terms with the 23-year-old if that amount of cash is put 𝓰on the ta🍌ble upfront.
Who is the Argentine?
Many Newcastle fans will surely be unaware𒅌 of Zenon, given his lack of experience and status across Europe at this stage of his career – if that is the case, let’s take a look at what he can do.
Firstly, the South American is predominantly a left winger, having made appearances in that position so far this season, scoring four goals while also provi🧔ding seven assistওs.
Like a typical No.7, the Boca Juniors wonderkid loves to take defenders on, and use hi𝔍s pace to open up opposition defences.
However, Zenon can also play on the right 🐬– making one appearance in that position – as well 🙈as in the centre of the pitch, where he has played four times this season.

The Argentina can also be used at left-b💯ack if need be.
Bo🅘ca Noticias frame Zenon ꧑as the current gem of Boca Juniors – a footballing giant who have previously produced the likes of Carlos Tevez – so for a sum of just £12.7m, Newcastle could secure themselves a bargain in January.
