Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has likened Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo to Toon legend Alan Shearer.
The two clubs meet this weekend.
"When you compare it to other fees, you have to say he seems very good value for money," said Pardew. "I see a lot of similarities [to Shearer] in terms of his pace and power and all those assets he brings to the team. Negredo is the best new player bar anyone this year and he must be putting himself in line for player of the season."
