Ukra puts Toon on alert

Portuguese starlet flattered by Newcastle interest

Porto striker Ukra has admitted he would study any offer that came his way after being linked with a move to Newcastle. The Magpies are understood to have sent scouts to watch Ukra in action for Portugal Under 21s against England last week. The highly-rated starlet is contracted to Porto for two more years, while he is currently on loan at Olhanense. He is happy to hear that Chris Hughton's Newcastle are tracking his progress but is not sure whether Porto would allow him to leave. "It's always motivating that big clubs are interested but I'll have to wait on Porto to make a decision over my future," Ukra said in the Sunday Mirror. "I have a contract until June 2011, but any offer which came along would be analysed and studied."
