Newcastle United have reportedly entered the race for Juventus winger Matias Soulé, setting up a potential tug-of-war with Premier League rivals Sunderland, according to English Premier League Index.

The report describes the Argentine forward as one of the more intriguing storylines of the closing stages of the transfer window, with both English clubs said to be monitoring his situation at Juventus.

Details remain thin at this stage, and there's no indication yet of a concrete bid from either side, but the emergence of Newcastle as suitors adds fresh competition to Sunderland's reported interest in the 22-year-old.

Soulé has been a regular feature in Juventus' squad and has attracted attention from England before, though nothing concrete has materialised. Whether this links develops into a serious approach before the window shuts remains to be seen, with EPL Index cautioning that the situation is still developing.
