Newcastle United appear to be leading the race for Boca Juniors’ rising star Kevin Zenon, edging out Tottenham Hotspur and other European clubs. The 23-year-old Argentine winger has made waves with a standout 2024 campaign, contributing six goals and seven assists in 45 appearances. With a €15 million release clause, Zenon is drawing serious attention as a versatile and affordable attacking option.

Having joined Boca Juniors from CA Union Santa Fe earlier this year, Zenon has quickly adapted to life at a top club, showcasing his ability to play across the frontline. However, it’s as a winger that he’s truly flourished, and his performances have placed him firmly on the radar of Premier League clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest stems from uncertainties surrounding Son Heung-min’s contract and Richarlison’s future, making Zenon a logical target. Meanwhile, Newcastle United are keen to bolster their attacking depth and have been tracking Zenon since the summer, reportedly taking pole position in negotiations.

With the January transfer window fast approaching, Zenon’s potential Premier League move could signal an exciting new chapter for the Argentine prospect, providing both Newcastle and Tottenham with an affordable yet high-upside addition.
