Club have already lined up deal for Spurs target as Newcastle enter talks to sign their £25m player

Newcastle could now cause Tottenham to miss out on a transfer target as negotiations begin.

There is just under a month remaining of the transfer window, and Newcastle are becoming particularly active as the Magpies near a deal to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

Now – according to reports in Italy – Newcastle have opened talks over another signing, one that could throw a spanner in the works for Tottenham if an agreement materialises…

Newcastle signing Nicolas Gonzalez could see Tottenham miss out on Albert Gudmundsson

An update from recently claimed that Tottenham are pushing hard to sign Gudmundsson, who shone in a centre-forward role last season with 16 goals in 37 appearances.

However, if Tottenham fail to get this deal wrapped up before Newcastle conclude talks with Fiorentina over Gonzalez, it could see Ange Postecoglou miss out on the Icelandic international this summer.

Both the Argentine and Gudmundsson are similar forwards, having scored 16 goals each last season from various positions across the attack, so if Fiorentina really do have the Icelandic forward lined up to replace Gonzalez, Spurs may as well cut to the chase and attempt to hijack Newcastle’s talks.
