Newcastle are on the verge of completing a deal for former Liverpool and Sunderland defender Javier Manquillo, according to reports in Spain.
The 23-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at Atletico Madrid and is not thought to be part of coach Diego Simeone's plans going forward.
And according to Mundo Deportivo, Manquillo, who made ten appearances during a loan spell at Liverpool during the 2014/15 season, is now on the verge of returning to the Premier League.
Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez has been keen to get business done early so far during the transfer window and the former Liverpool manager looks set to complete a deal for the right-back.
