Newcastle are considering a move for Velez Sarsfield striker Juan Manuel Martinez.
Nicknamed 'the little donkey', the 25-year-old was a target for Wigan and Blackburn earlier this summer but their interest has waned and Newcastle are now amongst a trio of clubs keen, with Napoli and Sevilla also in the running.
The Argentine international was voted player of the year in Argentina last year.
Talk of the Toon: Juan Manuel Martinez could swap Velez Sarsfield for Newcastle
I find this strange as they already have Shola Amadonkey, how many donkeys do they want, or are they going to set up rides on the beach
