According to La Verdad, Newcastle United want to sign Celta Vigo attacker Pione Sisto in this summer’s transfer window.
The 23-year-old had a fine 2017-18 campaign at Celta – scoring five times and registering 10 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions for his Spanish club.
Sisto’s performances throughout the season are believed to have attracted the attention of a number of European clubs, and Newcastle are said to be in the hunt.

The attacker, who is valued at £13.5m by transfermarkt.co.uk, joined Celta from FC Midtjylland in the summer of 2016, and has gone from strength to strength during his time in the top flight of Spanish football.
It is not a surprise that a host of teams are monitoring his situation, but it is worth noting that Sisto has a contract at Celta until the summer of 2021.

The Newcastle fans have been reacting to the transfer speculation, and it would be fair to say that a number are desperate for the Denmark international, who has previously been linked with Southampton, to move to St James’ Park this summer.
