Newcastle set to sign Joselu within 24 hours

Newcastle United have agreed a fee with Stoke City for striker Joselu, with a deal set to be completed within the next 24 hours, the Telegraph reports.

Joselu has been a long-term target for Rafa Benitez’s side and is set to sign for the club in a deal worth £5million.

27-year-old Joselu spent last season on loan at La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna where he scored six goals in 24 games.

The striker signed for Stoke back in 2015 from Hoffenheim for a fee of £5.75million but has fallen out of favour under Mark Hughes.

Joselu failed to make the bench for Stoke this weekend as they suffered a 1 – 0 defeat at Goodison Park.

Stoke had previously rejected a bid from Newcastle for Joselu, but the striker is now expected to complete a move to the Magpies today and make his debut for the club this weekend as they take on Huddersfield Town.
