Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth is in Spain to complete what will be a record deal for the Magpies as he looks to fly back with Sweden international Aleksandar Isak.
Both Ashworth and head of recruitment Steve Nickson have been locked in talks with Real Sociedad supremo Jokin Aperribay to tie up the £58million transfer that will shatter Newcastle's record books. Isak did not hesitate about a move to the Premier League when the chance was initially put to him back in July.
Back then Newcastle and Real could not agree a fee and the Sweden star was told to return to training. But Newcastle maintained their dialogue with the La Liga club.
