Newcastle United are reportedly ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and other suitors in the race to secure the services of Boca Juniors prospect Kevin Zenon.
According to a report by Italian outlet L’Interista, Kevin Zenon is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Argentine prospect, whose release clause is worth €15 million is also a target for Tottenham Hotspur and several other clubs. However, the Magpies are in the pole position to sign the Boca Juniors utility man next year.
The rise of Kevin Zenon
Kevin Zenon has established himself as one of the best young prospects in his homeland since joining Boca Juniors from CA Union Santa Fe earlier this year. A native of Goya, the South American wide player spent his formative years in Argentina before graduating from the youth division at CA Union.
As for Zenon’s spell with Boca Juniors thus far, he has enjoyed a solid 2024 campaign, chipping in with six goals and seven assists in 45 appearances across all competitions. The 23-year-old can play across the frontline, although he has transformed into a promising winger as the season has progressed.
Meanwhile, Zenon’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards, with Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United among his prospective suitors heading into the January transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Kevin Zenon is understandable. The North London giants are in a spot of bother over the long-term future of Son Heung-min, who has entered the final seven months of his contract. In addition, Richarlison faces an uncertain time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, making Zenon a viable target.
As for Newcastle United, Zenon is a long-term target, considering the Tyneside outfit attempted to sign him in the summer transfer window. The Magpies remain keen on signing the Boca Juniors prospect, with the report claiming they lead the race to secure his services.
While several other European bigwigs are keen on signing Zenon, Newcastle United will aim to take advantage of their position. The 23-year-old Argentine wide player will not cost a bomb, with his contract having a release clause worth €15 million.
