Newcastle United are interested in Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

Morata is ready to leave Real this summer after being overlooked by coach Jose Mourinho for a first team chance this term. The decision to go with Castilla teammate Joselu ahead of Morata was the final straw for the young centre-forward.

Arsenal have been linked with the Spain U20 international, but now its Newcastle which are making their interest known.

Indeed, Toon officials have already asked for first option on Morata should he become available for next season.
