Sven Botman has completed his medical at Newcastle United ahead of his £35m move from Lille.
The Dutch defender has been on holiday in Majorca, where Newcastle sent a private jet to collect him on Monday morning so he could undergo his medical on Tyneside.
Botman been Eddie Howe's No 1 defensive transfer target this summer. The club did earmark the defender as a January transfer target but negotiations with Lille have proved complicated.
They have beaten off competition from AC Milan for his signature.
