Newcastle have agreed a fee of £5m to sign Emil Krafth from French club Amiens, Sky Sports understands.
It is believed the Swedish international is currently travelling to Tyneside to finalise personal terms and undergo a medical later today.
If a deal is completed, the 25-year-old right-back is expected to challenge USA international DeAndre Yedlin and Javi Manquillo for a starting berth.
Krafth made 36 appearances for Amiens last season while on loan from Serie A side Bologna, before making the move permanent this summer.
However, Newcastle have tracked his progress and Amiens would be prepared to sell if they made a profit on the deal.
