Newcastle United and Wolves are eyeing Penarol winger Facundo Pellistri.

The 18-year-old has impressed after breaking onto the scene with Peñarol.

Penarol president Rodolfo Catino declared: "We sold Brian Rodríguez for almost £10 million and Facundo Pellistri came out right away (to replace him).

“And when we sell Pellistri another one will come out (to replace him).

"Penarol generates youth to sell and make it possible to invest more money to try to have a better participation at the international level."
