Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen on signing the Mexican striker Stephano Carrillo.
A report from journalist Yeudiel Pacheco claims that Newcastle United and Wolves are keen on signing the 17-year-old Mexican striker and they will face competition from Feyenoord and Copenhagen.
The 17-year-old is clearly highly rated around Europe and he has a big future ahead of him. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can win the race for his signature. The Magpies have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players and the 17-year-old could be a solid, long-term investment for them.
The player has the potential to develop into a quality striker for the Premier League club and Newcastle could help him fulfil his potential. The 17-year-old currently plays for the under-18s of Santos Laguna and a move to the Premier League would be a major step up in his career. He would get to showcase his qualities at a high level and the player is likely to be tempted to join Newcastle if the opportunity presents itself.

The Magpies are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and they are competing in the UEFA Champions League. They will need to improve their squad in order to continue competing at the highest level and signing the top young talents around Europe could be the right decision.
They have the finances to convince the Mexican club as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to submit an offer for the player in January.
Meanwhile, Wolves are keeping tabs on him as well and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer for the 17-year-old.
The talented youngster needs to join a club where he will get ample first-team exposure. Both Newcastle and Wolves might need to offer him gametime assurances.
That said, if Newcastle can sign the 17-year-old for a reasonable fee in the coming months, it could prove to be a shrewd investment. The transfer could look like a bargain in future if the player ends up fulfilling his potential at the Premier League club.
