Reported wages of £100k a week: Why Newcastle must swoop in to steal proven PL goal machine
Spanish contingent
Negredo would hit the ground running at St. James’ Park due to the number of Spaniards associated with the club.
Along with manager Benitez, you also have players Ayoze Perez and Jesus Gamez while both of the Toon’s first-team coaches are also Spanish. New signing Lejeune has just joined from Spanish side Eibar, and he too can speak the language.
Able to form a close bond with those in and around the club, Negredo’s performances would be strengthened due to his improved morale.
