Newcastle United could tie up a second deal in the next few days after verbally agreeing a move for Peruvian youngster Rodrigo Vilca.
Indeed, former Schalke 04 defender Bradley Cross has also held talks with United after a trial period with the club.
The South African is currently out of contract after spending the last two years with the Bundesliga club.
The 19-year-old centre-back is believed to have a UK passport and has also had a stint with Go Ahead Eagles.
Vicla will arrive on Tyneside on October 1 and Deportivo Municipal president José Córdova said last night: "He is a very important player for us, but he will play his last match this Wednesday.
"He has a community passport because he lived in Spain for 11 years so he will not be a foreign player for Newcastle."
As reported by Chronicle Live last week the Magpies had rolled out a development plan for Vilca and the deal is expected to cost United £250,000.
