Newcastle United have joined Aston Villa, Fulham and West Ham in the hunt for QPR prodigy Anthony Trujillo.

The 16-year-old Colombian forward is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after youth talents in English football.

Ontheminute.com understands that Newcastle United are the latest club to keep a close eye on the highly-rated youngster.

Aston Villa, Fulham and West Ham have previously been reported to be battling for the signature of Anthony Trujillo.

Trujillo’s versatility – playing as a striker, attacking midfielder, or winger – has caught the attention of top-flight scouts.

His standout displays for QPR’s U18s and Colombia’s U17s have made him a hot prospect. Now, Newcastle’s interest adds fresh pressure on QPR to keep the young star.

With four Premier League clubs circling, QPR face a real battle to hold onto Anthony Trujillo. The club remains hopeful he will stay and continue his development in West London.
