Newcastle are scouring the Championship for fresh talent as they look to avoid another relegation battle next season - with Reading winger Tarique Fosu top of their summer shopping list. The England Under-18 winger has only just made his first tentative steps into the first-team squad at the Madjeski Stadium but he has already caught the eye of Newcastle€™s chief scout Graham Carr. Fosu only made his Reading debut on the final day of the 2014-15 Championship season, but he put in a breathtaking performance against Derby County - and effectively quickened the sacking of Steve McClaren at the Rams. After starting the game on the bench, the 19-year-old came on to the pitch at the half-hour mark and helped lead Reading to an impressive 3-0 victory over the Rams. Interestingly, Fosu was also a member of the Reading Under-21 side who claimed the first-ever Premier League Cup in 2013-14. In fact, he scored the winner against Manchester City in the second leg of the final.
