Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is ready to raid Spain for an early Premier League signing.

The Toon's summer market plans are now underway and Benitez is eyeing Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez as a first addition.

The former Barcelona forward has scored 15 goals in 28 games this season and his contract carries a €6 million buyout clause.

Sandro has also been watched extensively by Tottenham this season.

Malaga management accept they face losing the youngster in the coming months.
