Newcastle close in on €30m Hornicek deal

Newcastle United are closing in on a move for Braga goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The 24-year-old Czech international is the Magpies' top target between the posts, and the two clubs are working toward a deal worth €30m - the exact value of his release clause. Personal terms still need to be ironed out, but the process is reportedly drawing to a conclusion on Tyneside.
