Zenon has made a name for himself at Boca Juniors. He has scored five goals and provided seven assists in 44 appearances for the club. His performances have earned him praise, with some analysts highlighting his “magical” left foot.

Zenon primarily plays as a left winger. Newcastle already have strong options in this position, with Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes performing well. However, Zenon could offer versatility if he adapts to playing on the right wing.

Moving to Europe could be a challenge for Zenon. He has no experience playing outside South America, and adapting to the Premier League’s intensity will take time. Newcastle may need to be patient as he adjusts to the demands of English football.

Despite this, Zenon’s potential makes him an exciting prospect. He could develop into a key player under Howe’s guidance. The reported fee of £16.5 million also represents good value for a young talent with room to grow.

Newcastle fans will hope the club can secure Zenon’s signature. His arrival would add depth and creativity to the squad. While he may not be an instant starter, Zenon has the talent to succeed in the Premier League.

With competition from several clubs, Newcastle will need to act decisively. If they complete the deal, Zenon could become an important part of their long-term project.
