Antonio Cordero has played just 34 minutes of competitive action for Belgian side KVC Westerlo after joining on-loan from Newcastle United during the summer transfer window.
Cordero became the club’s first signing of the summer when it was confirmed that he would move to Tyneside from Spanish side Malaga. Cordero had been wanted by a host of clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, but it was the Magpies who eventually swooped for his signature.
The young winger was announced as a Newcastle United player on June 5, with then sporting director Paul Mitchell describing Cordero as an ‘exciting’ talent for the future:
“Antonio is an exciting talent. We’re delighted to bring him to Newcastle United amidst interest in Spain and across Europe.
