Newcastle United are set to beat Benfica to the signature of Real Zaragoza star, Pablo Aimar...
Reports in Spain suggest the Argentine international is close to completing a move to St James Park as he is eager to try his hand in the Premier League.
A talented playmaker, Aimar will be leaving Zaragoza after their shock relegation to the Segunda Division, and Portuguese side Benfica were thought to be the frontrunners for his signature, with Everton also reported to be monitoring the situation.
The Magpies, who have been promising players to excite the fans next season, look to be ever-closer to providing yet another, with Aimar's compatriot Jonas Gutierrez already snapped up from Real Mallorca.
A fee of £7 million is thought to have been agreed and the player's representatives now in Newcastle to finalise a deal within 48 hours.
