According to reports in Spain, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Spurs are all showing strong interest in Deportivo La Coruna defender, Cesar. Back in January, Newcastle were rumoured to have had a bid turned down.

It now looks that Deportivo will allow the player to leave the club in the summer, with Newcastle United being named favourites by the Spanish press to land the player - with Liverpool and Spurs close behind.

Deportivo La Coruna, need the cash to strengthen their squad and it is believed a bid of around four million could secure him.
