Newcastle and West Ham linked with striker

Alvaro Negredo's future will be decided next week, after reports suggested two Premier League club's had launched bids to land him.

The striker left Real Madrid last summer and joined Almeria, and he shone with 13 goals in La Liga and helped the minnows retain their top-flight status.

However, Real inserted a buy-back clause in the deal and they will now take the player back for 4 million euros (£3.1million) before selling him on - with reports claiming he could go for up to 12 million euros (£9.4million).

It is claimed in Spain that two English sides have made bids for the exciting 22-year-old, with some sources suggesting the two clubs as Newcastle and West Ham.

Tottenham have also been credited with an interest after they scouted him late last year.

Meeting

Now Negredo's agent Junma Lopez says he will meet with Real next week to talk over his future.

"We still have not had any news from Real and I will attend a meeting next week to clear the subject," he said.

"If Real does not accept a deal then he will remain with Almeria."
