A journalist at Sky Sports has revealed that Luis Campos is 'interested' in a role at Newcastle United.
The Lowdown: 'The Wizard'
Campos has been nicknamed 'The Wizard of Capital Gains' as he has made a habit of lifting trophies while making hundreds of millions of profit on selling players (Sky Sports).
Among those names are the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Fabinho, Thomas Lemar, Bernardo Silva and Anthony Martial, all of whom he discovered while at Monaco, while Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel have both been sold to Arsenal when he was at Lille for a large profit.
The Latest: Campos interest
Sky Sports journalist Gary Cotterill has revealed (via Pete Graves) that Campos would be 'interested' in a role at St. James' Park following the takeover by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium.
The renowned Sporting Director 'expects' to be considered by the new owners, following Ligue 1 title triumphs at both Monaco and Lille.
The Verdict: Get him in
Whether it is a Sporting Director role or any other on the board, the North East club must look to get Campos in as soon as possible.
His record speaks for itself, unearthing hidden talents and helping to beat heavy favourites PSG to the domestic title with two different clubs.
Nonetheless, his background matches perfectly with the direction that the Tyneside outfit want to head in, and getting him on board would be a big coup.
