Magpies swoop for new duo
02 Sep 2008 - 07:25:29
Newcastle United added two new players to their ranks before Monday's transfer deadline after raiding La Liga to sign Xisco and Ignacio Gonzalez.
The Magpies agreed an undisclosed fee with Deportivo La Coruna for Spain Under-21 striker Xisco.
The 22-year-old, who was also linked with a move to Aston Villa, has agreed a five-year contract at St James' Park where he will link up with fellow recent signing and former Depor team-mate Fabricio Coloccini.
Meanwhile, manager Kevin Keegan also swooped for Uruguay international midfielder Gonzalez.
The 26-year-old arrives on Tyneside on a season-long loan basis from Spanish side Valencia.
Gonzalez has won 15 international caps for the South Americans and spent last season on loan at AS Monaco.
Elsewhere, troubled midfielder Joey Barton has vowed to stay at Newcastle after admitting he 'owes it to the club and the fans' following his off-field troubles.
