Newcastle are interested in signing Juventus wonderkid Matias Soule, according to Calciomercato.

Soule is currently on loan at Frosinone in Serie A, where he has scored 10 goals in 26 league appearances.

He has also provided two assists in what has been an extremely productive campaign thus far.

The 20-year-old made his Juve debut in the 2021-22 season, but it was in 2022-23 that he was given more consistent chances.

The winger made 19 appearances in all competitions, most of which as a substitute, but he failed to impress in Turin.

This loan, however, has been ideal for his development, providing the opportunity to be a talismanic figure.

Frosinone are in 18th place in Serie A and Soule's form will be critical in their fight for survival.

Matias Soule's Premier League options

Soule will return to Juventus in the summer, and he could be in the Bianconeri's plans.

Although, if a Premier League team were to meet their €40 million asking price, he would be sold.

Besides Newcastle, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are also reportedly interested in the youngster.

At St. James' Park, Soule would likely replace Miguel Almiron on the right wing.

The Peruvian winger is seen as one of the weak links of Eddie Howe's side.

Meanwhile, Soule would face more competition for playing time at Villa, as they already have Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby.

Palace, on the other hand, could sign Soule as a replacement for Michael Olise, who has been heavily linked with a move away.
