Newcastle have agreed a deal in principle for the signing of Lille centre-back Sven Botman.
Botman, who has undergone a medical on Tyneside, has agreed terms on a five year-contract, according to a statement from Newcastle.
The total fee for the defender is in the region of £35m, with Newcastle saying the "formalities of the transfer" will be concluded this week.
- The Dutchman has 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.
