Real Madrid and Man City 'set to MISS OUT on Spanish wonderkid Gabri Veiga... with the Celta Vigo star on the verge of joining Newcastle' in £35m deal

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.
