According to Soccerlink (translated by Sportwitness), the Premier League outfit saw their initial offer for the player turned down but they have now reached an agreement with Amiens for the defender.
The report adds that personal terms have been agreed with the defender as well. The Magpies will now look to finalise the move swiftly.
Krafth should prove to be a useful addition to Steve Bruce’s side. Newcastle had poor full-backs last season and they have done well to address that weakness this summer.
The 25-year-old is versatile and he can slot in as a left-back if needed as well.
