Gabriel Barbosa is reportedly eager to seal a transfer to Newcastle United this summer.

The prolific Brazilian forward, nicknamed ‘Gabigol’ has long been tipped for stardom at the highest level, but struggled during a spell with Inter Milan earlier in his career.

Barbosa is currently a star player for Flamengo, having scored an impressive 123 goals in 183 games for the Brazilian side.

Newcastle have been linked with the 25-year-old in recent times, and it seems he would also be keen on the prospect of a move to St James’ Park.
