Newcastle United have agreed to sign left-back Matthew Bondswell after he terminated his contract at Red Bull Leipzig.
The England U18 international started out at Nottingham Forest and was linked with West Ham in January but David Moyes ruled out the signing.
The 18-year old had an inauspicious loan spell in Holland with FC Dordrecht earlier this season. His move to Newcastle was put in place on Monday and he will join their U23 squad.
Bondswell joined Leipzig in the summer of 2018 and played for their youth teams before completing a season-long loan move to Dordrecht in August.
