Newcastle could sign versatile Aston Villa target in a "cut-price deal in January"
Briefly

"I think he's a player that a lot of clubs would be looking at, especially with his situation [being] out of contract next summer. So, they [Newcastle] could land a talented player on a free transfer or even potentially try and sign him for a cut-price deal in January if Celta Vigo do decide that could be their last chance to cash in."
"On Mingueza, the key thing for Mingueza is his versatility. He's capable of playing at centre-back, full-back and also in midfield as well. So that's what makes him such an attractive proposition. Mingueza is versatile enough to operate on either flank as well as centrally. He could be a very useful acquisition for Newcastle. They need a deeper squad in order to do well across multiple competitions, and a versatile player like Mingueza could prove to be valuable."
Oscar Mingueza, a 26-year-old Celta Vigo defender, will be out of contract at season's end and could be available for a nominal fee in January. Celta may prefer a January sale rather than losing him for free in the summer. Mingueza offers versatility across centre-back, full-back and midfield and can operate on either flank as well as centrally. Newcastle and Aston Villa have shown interest, with Newcastle seeking squad depth and a long-term alternative to Kieran Trippier and Villa seeking competition for Matty Cash. The Premier League would represent a step up and an attractive next move for the player.
