Alexander Isak flew in from Spain on Thursday and passed a medical ahead of completing his move from Real Sociedad and becoming Newcastle’s £60million club-record signing.
Eddie Howe's side are close to smashing their club-record transfer fee with a deal for Real Sociedad striker Isak, which will eclipse the £40m they paid Hoffenheim for Joelinton in 2019 and Lyon for Bruno Guimaraes in January.
Talks advanced on Wednesday after the Spanish side indicated they would be willing to accept structured payments on the transfer to help Newcastle navigate financial fair play concerns.
The Magpies' sporting director Dan Ashworth was in Spain on Tuesday to finalise terms with the 22-year-old Sweden international, who has long been top of Newcastle's wishlist but was always considered a difficult transfer to pull off.
