Newcastle 'are interested in signing Spanish wonderkid Gabri Viega in a potential £35m deal' though Eddie Howe's side 'face competition from Real Madrid and Man City' for the Celta Vigo star

Newcastle are reportedly closing in on completing a deal for Celta Vigo's rising star Gabri Veiga.

Veiga has broken into the Celta first team this season, and despite the team finding themselves in a relegation battle, he has been a standout performer, registering nine goals and four assists.

Mail Sport has previously reported that Manchester City and Real Madrid have been tracking the attacking midfielder, along with Newcastle.

The Magpies are now on the verge of finalising their first signing of the summer, with Veiga expected to move to St James' Park, according to Marca.
