Newcastle have agreed a £51.5m deal with Freiburg for Switzerland midfielder Johan Manzambi, who is expected to join after the World Cup.

Newcastle have secured Switzerland international Johan Manzambi from Freiburg in a £51.5m transfer. The 20-year-old, who impressed during this summer's World Cup, is set to sign a long-term contract at St James' Park, though the deal won't be finalized while Switzerland remain in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have insisted that Bruno Guimarães is not for sale, despite reported interest from Arsenal. Manzambi is currently recovering from a minor knee injury that may rule him out of Switzerland's quarter-final against Argentina. cricket-ipl.in
