Newcastle United, Burnley 'eye Jonathan Viera move'

Newcastle United and Burnley are reportedly both interested in signing Las Palmas attacker Jonathan Viera.

Viera has a contract until the summer of 2021, but it is understood that the 28-year-old is considering his future with the Canary islanders due to their struggles in La Liga this season.

Viera's form was key in Las Palmas finishing a respectable 14th in Spain's top flight last season, although he has only scored twice in 16 league appearances for the league's bottom club this term.

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle and Burnley are interested in bringing the Spain international to the Premier League, and both believe that an offer in the region of £18m would be enough to seal a deal.

Viera, who made his Spain debut in October 2017, has also previously represented Valencia, Rayo Vallecano and Standard Liege.
