Magpies swoop for the Spiderman

NEWCASTLE boss Kevin Keegan has signalled his intention to bring the thrills back to St James’s Park by making Argentina winger Jonas Gutierrez his first summer signing.

Jonas, nicknamed “Spiderman” because of his distinctive goal celebrations, has joined the Magpies from Spanish side Real Mallorca on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old — he celebrates his 25th birthday on Saturday — will join up with his new team-mates after a short break following his post-season exertions with his country, which ended with a 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw in Brazil on June 18.
