The Newcastle Jets could have a new South American attacking midfielder on deck as early as this week but are being careful about getting their hopes up after missing out on an earlier target.
It is understood the deal is close to being sealed, but the club was in a similar position a month ago before the player pulled out due to a family health problem.
It is understood the new signing may not be a marquee player outside the A-League salary cap.
If he does arrive, the Jets will have one vacancy on their roster for a Chinese player, unless they can move on a player not in coach Ernie Merrick’s plans.
Sounds like someone getting a scrap of info and trying to make a story out of it.
