Newcastle United 'consider loan move for Luka Jovic'

Newcastle United are reportedly weighing up a loan move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.

The 22-year-old only joined Los Blancos from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer but has found it difficult to make his mark at the Bernabeu during the 2019-20 campaign.

The Serbia international has struck just twice in 26 outings for Zinedine Zidane's side in all competitions, leading to suggestions that he could be on the move in the upcoming market.

According to The Shields Gazette, Newcastle scouts have identified Jovic as a potential loan signing for the 2020-21 campaign as the club look to boost their attacking options.

The report, meanwhile, claims that the Magpies are currently planning for no takeover as the speculation surrounding the ownership of the club continues.

Jovic scored 36 times in 75 outings for Frankfurt before arriving in the Spanish capital.
