Newcastle United are set to sign Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin - with hopes that more new faces are set to follow.
The Toon have agreed a £17million fee with the Ligue 1 side for the 22-year-old winger, having seen previous bids knocked back.
And Saint-Maximin has agreed personal terms on a six-year contract,
Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley has flown to the Cote d’Azur to close the deal.
Boss Steve Bruce confirmed the club’s interest in Saint-Maximin last week, stating: “It’s somebody we have identified and we will see what happens."
But he isn’t the only player on the verge of a move to St James’ Park.
With Bruce keen to strengthen a squad that has lost six players this summer, the Magpies are also on the verge of landing Paris Saint-Germain teenager Moussa Sissoko.
The 18-year-old defender has been told he can leave the French champions and Newcastle have held talks with his representatives.
A £2million deal is in the pipeline.
However a deal for another PSG youngster, Stanley N’Soki, is proving more difficult.
Newcastle have held talks over a possible £11million deal for the 20-year-old with the French champions.
According to local reports, N’Soki is keen for a deal to be sorted as soon as possible, because he wants to leave the Parc des Prince for greater first-team opportunities in 2019-20.
