According to Sevilla ABC, Newcastle United are considering a move for Swansea City midfielder Roque Mesa in this summer's transfer window.

What's the story?

Mesa joined Swansea from Las Palmas last summer, with the Welsh outfit paying £11m to sign the versatile midfielder.

The Spaniard struggled to make his mark in the Premier League, however, and moved on loan to Sevilla in the January transfer window.

It is understood that Sevilla have the chance to sign Mesa on a permanent deal ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, but according to Sevilla ABC, Newcastle are considering a swoop.

Mesa actually has a contract with Swansea until the end of the 2020-21 campaign, but his time at the Welsh club appears to be over after failing to settle.

Should Newcastle make a move?

There is no question that Newcastle need to boost their midfield this summer, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the future of Mikel Merino.

There is no question that Mesa is a brilliant footballer, and it is not difficult to understand why Swansea made a move last summer following an impressive couple of seasons in La Liga.

Mesa did not make much of an impact at Sevilla in the second half of last season, however, and at the age of 29, he is certainly not a long-term option for Newcastle.

To be honest, Mesa, who is valued at £6.3m by transfermarkt.co.uk, is more suited to the Spanish league, where he can really show his ability on the ball.

He did not seem to fancy the hustle and bustle of the Premier League, and Newcastle should swerve a move for the midfielder this summer, despite his undoubted talent.
