Newcastle United are ready to pounce for Mainz striker Yuto Muto.

The Japan international is prepared to leave for the Premier League this summer, with Mainz now willing to consider offers.

BILD says Mainz will seek €20m to sell Muto this summer.

The striker declared last week: "I cannot say much, but it was always my goal to play in the Premier League."

And Mainz chief Rouven Schroeder said: "I can understand that Yoshi has this wish at his age. With a proper offer, we can certainly talk."
