Spanish La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna are all set to sign former Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez, pending his medical.

Gutierrez was released by Newcastle United this summer and has been a free agent since.




The midfielder started out at Velez Sarsfield in his native Argentina and played for Spanish outfit Real Mallorca from 2005 until 2008 before he departed to Newcastle United.

Deportivo La Coruna and Gutierrez have reached an agreement for the transfer and the deal will be completed following his medical in the coming days.

The Brancoazuis grappled with relegation last term, but managed to hold on to their top flight status after a final day draw against reigning Spanish champions Barcelona.

The Galician outfit will hope that the addition of the Argentine helps them improve upon last season’s league finish.
