Report: NUFC in talks to land £36m winger as they look to beat Ancelotti to signing
According to Arena Napoli, Newcastle United are interested in bringing Napoli forward Hirving Lozano to Saint James’ Park this summer and have already started talks with the Serie A club.

He could try and kick start his career at Rangers and if he does well he can come back to the Premier League as a ready-made player in a few years’ time. It is tough because it is difficult to turn down a five-year deal at a club like Liverpool but I am not sure if he is goin...
