Newcastle keen on Swansea’s Mo Barrow but won't give up on Andros Townsend - Sky sources

Newcastle are interested in signing Swansea’s Mo Barrow

Newcastle are interested in signing Swansea winger Mo Barrow, according to Sky sources.

It is understood that a loan move for the 24-year-old is most likely at this stage.

Barrow last played for Swansea on New Year's Eve in a 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth and has made 19 appearances for the club this season.

However, he has been pushed further down the pecking order at the Liberty Stadium following the arrival of Luciano Narsingh from PSV Eindhoven.

Barrow moved to Swansea in 2014 and has spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers.

Despite the interest in Barrow, Newcastle remain keen on re-signing Andros Townsend. If a deal was done with 25-year-old Townsend, it would most likely be a loan with a view to a permanent move.

Newcastle are top of the Sky Bet Championship and travel to Oxford United in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
