"Newcastle United are reportedly interested in the Brazilian defender Wesley Franca from AS Roma. According to a report from AS Roma Live, the 22-year-old has attracted the attention of the Premier League club, and Newcastle have sent scouts to watch him in action. The Italian club signed the Brazilian defender in the summer for a fee of around 25 million, and his valuation has doubled."
"Wesley is capable of operating on either flank, and he could prove to be an excellent long-term accusation. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle are prepared to break the Bank for him. Wesley has been linked with Everton and Brighton in the past. Arsenal wanted to sign Wesley during his time at Flamengo as well. Can Newcastle convince Wesley Franca?

Newcastle United have sent scouts to watch 22-year-old Wesley Franca and are interested in signing the AS Roma wing-back. AS Roma paid around 25 million for the Brazilian in the summer and his valuation has reportedly doubled to 50 million. Wesley can operate on either flank and offers long-term potential as a wing-back. He has been linked previously to Everton, Brighton and attracted Arsenal interest while at Flamengo. Newcastle already have Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, so the club would need to provide game-time assurances and a clear role to convince Wesley to join. A 50 million fee represents a significant investment.
