Newcastle United have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo in a major late move before the transfer window closes.
The Magpies have been working on a deal for the highly rated 21-year-old Belgian attacker, with reports indicating an agreement worth around €60 million has been struck with Lille.
Newcastle Land Another Exciting Talent
Fernandez-Pardo is capable of playing across the attack and has attracted interest from several major clubs.
Newcastle's move for the Belgian comes as the club look to strengthen their attacking options, particularly with uncertainty surrounding the future of some members of their forward line.
The youngster's versatility could make him a valuable addition to the squad — because apparently Newcastle decided the final days of the transfer window were not stressful enough already.
Final Steps Remain
While reports indicate that a club-to-club agreement has been reached, the transfer will still need to go through the remaining formalities before it becomes official.
Personal terms, medical checks and paperwork are expected to be among the final steps.
