Magpies sign Xisco from Deportivo

Newcastle have completed the signing of Spain Under-21 striker Xisco on a five-year deal from La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna for an undisclosed fee, the club have announced.

The 22-year-old will now join former Depor team-mate Fabricio Coloccini at St James’ Park after the Argentinian became the Magpies’ most expensive defender in their history last month.
