Newcastle United are close to signing Everton's Anthony Gordon after the clubs agreed a deal that could eventually be worth 45m.
Gordon was back at Everton's Finch Farm training headquarters on Friday after being absent this week.
It now seems certain the formalities of the 21-year-old forward's move to Tyneside will be completed well before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
The initial fee is understood to be 40m, rising to 45m with add-ons.
Midfielder Gordon was a target for Chelsea in the summer, with Everton reportedly demanding 60m, but the Merseyside club have now decided to cash in.
