Newcastle United's £20million bid for England international Callum Wilson has been accepted.
Wilson must now agree terms and conditions with the Magpies as Steve Bruce prepares to land a major signing.
The Magpies went toe-to-toe with Aston Villa and succeeded in the race to sign Wilson after Aston Villa dropped out.
Indeed, sources at Bournemouth have confirmed Dean Smith's men stepped back from the deal once they learned Wilson's preferred choice was St James' Park.
Bruce hopes that Wilson will soon be joined by his former team-mate Ryan Fraser while talks to sign Norwich City left-back Jamal Lewis continue.
The talks for Wilson had at one stage included the possibility of a swap deal for Matt Ritchie.
But the Scotland international is not part of this particular package.
Whether Bournemouth follow up with an offer for Ritchie remains to be seen.
