HITC Sport are reporting that Newcastle United have opened talks with the agent of Spanish international Juanmi. The 22-year-old has had a mightily impressive season over in Spain and has attracted the attention of a number of suitors from the Premier League. So much so that HITC believe the player's agent is currently on a tour of the UK and has already contacted representatives from Newcastle. The forward made 28 La Liga appearances for Los Boqerones last season, scoring eight goals and was handed his full Spain debut by Vicente Del Bosque earlier this year. It is rumoured that the former Racing Santander man will cost somewhere in the region of £5-7 million. Newcastle certainly seem to be on the trail for more fire power to help the likes of Papiss Cisse and Ayoze Perez after one of the club's preferred media partners, the Daily Mirror, claimed that a deal for Charlie Austin was in place while The Magpies were also after Saido Berahino. It also shows that United are now looking for more technical players now they have a head coach in Steve McClaren who can get the best out of them. Rumours of discontent from chief scout Graham Carr blighted the Alan Pardew era. Carr was providing the current Crystal Palace boss with gifted players while Pardew was playing a brand of football that didn't suit them. Hopefully this will now change and we'll finally see the best from Vurnon Anita.
