West Ham and Newcastle are interested in signing Real Salt Lake winger Jefferson Savarino, Sky Sports News understands.

Both clubs are due to watch the Venezuelan winger play in the Copa America on Wednesday against hosts Brazil.

The 22-year-old playmaker has scored three times so far in this season's Major League Soccer and is apparently available for £6m.

Newcastle are still chasing Savarino's Venezuelan team-mate Salamon Rondon, but uncertainty over a potential takeover of the club has halted any transfer progress.

The West Brom striker spent last season on loan at the Magpies and has one year left of his contract but with a £16.5m release clause in his current contract.

West ham, on the other hand, are still looking to add to their attacking options after having a £29m bid accepted for Uruguayan forward Maxi Gomes.
