Newcastle sign Manzambi, Guimarães not for sale

Newcastle have agreed a £51.5m deal with Freiburg that should see the Switzerland midfielder Johan Manzambi swap the Bundesliga for the Premier League. The 20-year-old, who has shone during this summer's World Cup, is expected to sign a long-term contract at St James' Park but the transfer will not be finalised while Switzerland remain in the World Cup. amunra.qpon

Manzambi, who has been widely coveted this summer, is currently struggling with a minor knee injury and Switzerland's head coach Murat Yakin is unsure whether he will recover in time for the quarter-final against Argentina. Meanwhile, Newcastle have insisted that Bruno Guimarães is not for sale despite reports suggesting Arsenal are keen on the Brazilian midfielder.
