NEWCASTLE are on the verge of a double transfer breakthrough with Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey and Brentford striker Yoane Wissa set to sign before the big kickoff.

The arrivals of Ramsey (top) and Wissa will follow hot on the heels of German centre-back Malick Thiaw, who finalised his £35million move from AC Milan on Tuesday night.

It will take Newcastle's spending to over £100m inside a week and provide a timely boost to head coach Eddie Howe, who has endured a turbulent and frustrating summer.
