Santiago Hezze has been on Newcastle's shortlist for a few weeks. Newcastle has already made an approach to acquire him, but Olympiacos has not responded positively.

Santiago Hezze is described as a prolific ball-winner, great progressive passer, and technically outstanding. He is considered the perfect number 6 and a European champion with Olympiacos.

Newcastle are reportedly lining up a move for Olympiacos star Santiago Hezze following his impressive performances for Argentina at the Olympic Games. TyC Sports claims Toon want a midfield reinforcement before next week's transfer deadline. They are currently preparing an offer for Hezze that could see him become the latest signing at St James' Park.

According to Argentine reporter Gastón Edul, Newcastle United is planning to make a move for Santiago Hezze and submit an offer in the near future. Olympiacos has already rejected approaches for Hezze, and he remains a key player in their plans for the new season.
