Newcastle have agreed a package of around £13million with Brighton for defender Dan Burn.
The 29-year-old is yet to agree personal terms but is keen to reach a quick agreement, ahead of an expected move to his boyhood club.
Eddie Howe has been pushing for Burn since last weekend and Brighton have now accepted an offer of £11m plus £2 add-ons after two bids were rejected.
Centre back has been a priority position for the Magpies this month and they have failed to land top targets Sven Botman, of Lille, and Sevilla’s Diego Carlos.
