Newcastle United are swooping for Recreativo de Huelva youngster Juan Jesús Núñez Cumbrera 'Juanito'.

EFE reports Juanito has made a name for himself in the regional youth leagues in Andalucia as the striker made his way through the Huelva based club's youth system. This very summer another young talent, David Alfonso left Spain's oldest football club and moved to FC Barcelona.

Currently playing in the third tier of Spanish football (2B), Recre have been living precariously with the club close to being wound up last season.

Now under new administration faced with turning the club's fortunes around on the pitch and off the pitch financially, the current economic situation was key in accepting the bid from Rafa Benitez's Magpies despite the club trying to retain promising players emerging in the under-age system at Recreativo.
