Newcastle United are confident of closing a deal for Sevilla defender Diego Carlos.
The Telegraph says there is progress being made over a deal for Carlos. It is hoped that the pursuit could be concluded this week.
“We are working really hard on two deals at the moment and we are getting closer," a senior source said.
“But our league position is making things harder to persuade players to come, it makes a tough window even trickier to do business in."
Seville and Newcastle are still negotiating a fee for Carlos but the 28-year-old Brazilian wants to make the move and that is helping Newcastle push for a breakthrough.
Those talks are ongoing and there is cautious optimism that he will be a Newcastle player by the time they take on Leeds United next weekend.
