Newcastle United are on the verge of completing their first signing of the summer with the capture of highly-rated Spanish youngster Antonio Cordero. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder, who has been making waves in the youth ranks at Real Betis, is expected to be unveiled by the Magpies in the coming days.
Cordero, known for his flair, vision, and technical ability, has been attracting interest from several top European clubs, but Newcastle have won the race for his signature. The move signals the club’s ongoing commitment to investing in emerging talent, as they look to strengthen their squad for both domestic and European ambitions.
Sources close to the deal suggest that Newcastle have agreed personal terms with Cordero, and only formalities remain before the transfer is officially confirmed. The youngster is expected to join the club’s U21 setup initially, but there is belief within the coaching staff that he could quickly push for first-team involvement under Eddie Howe.
The signing aligns with Newcastle’s long-term strategy to develop a core of young, dynamic players capable of contributing to sustained success. Fans will be eagerly anticipating Cordero’s impact as he begins his journey on Tyneside.
