 Boa Morte scored nine goals for Fulham last season |
Fulham's Luis Boa Morte has admitted he would be keen on a move to Newcastle. The striker is a target of Magpies boss Graeme Souness and he told Portuguese newspaper O Independente he was keen to taste European action.
"Representing Newcastle is different from being at Fulham. It's a bigger club with more projection and which has other ambitions," said the 27-year-old.
"Who doesn't aim to play at a great club, which takes part regularly in European competitions?"
Souness tried to capture the 27-year-old in January but Boa Morte responded by extending his Fulham contract until 2008.
The Scot is understood to want to bring the Portuguese frontman to St James's Park as his third summer signing.
Souness has already boosted his squad by bringing in midfielders Scott Parker from Chelsea and Emre from Inter Milan.
