Toon join Gunners, United and Milan in race for £12 million midfielder !

Newcastle have supposedly sparked an interest in Sporting Lisbon pair Miguel Veloso and Rui Patricio according to reports in the Daily Mail today.

Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan was reportedly attending the Sporting's game in mid week at Ibrox to watch the Portuguese duo, and with Veloso playing as a defensive midfielder and Patricio in goal it is likely that they impressed the Toon boss with their clean sheet.

Keegan may have to splash out as much as £12 million for Veloso, however the likes of Milan, Arsenal and Man United could also be possible destinations for the Sporting number 24.
