Newcastle United are raiding Liga MX to boost manager Steve Bruce's squad.
The Sun says Newcastle are 'close' to signing Santiago Munoz from Mexican side Santos Luguna.
The 19-year-old was withdrawn from the Mexican league's all-star match as rumours continue to circulate about his future.
A fee has reportedly been agreed for Munoz's services, but there are fears a work permit won't be secured in time for deadline day on Tuesday.
Munoz has scored three goals and provided three assists in the Mexican top division so far this season.
