Uruguayan midfielder completes one-year loan switch
Newcastle have completed the loan signing of Valencia midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez, the Spanish club has confirmed.
A year-long loan deal was agreed last week and the move has been tied up on transfer deadline day.
Gonzalez, who is also known as Nacho, recently joined Valencia on a four-year deal but has been given the opportunity to go out on loan as the La Liga club currently has a wealth of midfield options.
The 26-year-old has made 21 international appearances for Uruguay and spent the last six months on loan at Monaco from Uruguayan club Danubio.
"Nacho Gonzalez has become a new player at Valencia for the next four seasons," read a statement on the club's
official website.
"The Uruguay international, who spent the last few seasons at Danubio and Monaco, will play on loan this season at the English side Newcastle."
Gonzalez will not link up with the Magpies until after the international break, with Uruguay preparing for World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Ecuador on 6th and 10th September.
