Forward was booed after rejecting new deal and now there are rumours he’s signing for Newcastle United

Malaga winger Antonio Cordero has enjoyed a fine season in the Segunda Division, scoring four goals and bagging five assists. His form has caught Mitchell’s eye and, as a result, Newcastle are set to sign Cordero in the summer.

The Magpies have beaten Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid to Cordero’s signature – Mitchell’s negotiation and persuasive skills are a catalyst to the decision.
