Newcastle United have reached an agreement with Manchester City over a deal worth up to £52 million for midfielder Nico Gonzalez.
The 24-year-old Spanish midfielder is set to become Newcastle’s latest signing as the club look to strengthen their squad with Premier League experience.
Newcastle had previously focused exclusively on recruiting players from clubs outside England during the current transfer window. However, the club have now identified the need for players familiar with the demands of the Premier League following the departures of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier in recent months.
Gonzalez joined Manchester City from Porto and has spent around 18 months in English football. Despite his relatively short time in the Premier League, Newcastle view him as fitting the age profile of players they want to develop further under head coach Matthias Jaissle.
