Portuguese starlet Ukra chasing Newcastle move

Portuguese striker Ukra is chasing a move to Newcastle United.

The highly-rated striker is top of Toon boss Chris Hughton’s wish list after club scouts watched the Portugal Under-21 forward against England last week.

And Ukra, who is on loan to Olhanense from Porto, says he would jump at the chance to make the switch to Tyneside.

Ukra said: “It’s always motivating that big clubs are interested but I’ll have to wait on Porto to make a decision over my future.

“I have a contract until June 2011, but any offer would be studied.”
