And now we hear Newcastle have edged ahead of Portsmouth in their efforts to sign Pablo Aimar ... to add to the signing of fellow countryman Jonas Gutierrez.

Newcastle allegedly believe they can strike a deal with Real Zaragoza, who were relegated from the Spanish league in May.

Aimar, who is said to be eager to play for Kevin Keegan, will hold talks over the next 24 hours.

Apparently, the signing of Peter Crouch has left Portsmouth skint (according to the newspapers), although Harry Redknapp insists he still has plenty to spend.
