According to reports from The Chronicle, Newcastle United are looking to finalise the loan move of Lazio defender Jordan Lukaku.
The Magpies agreed a season-long loan deal for the Lazio left-back yesterday, and the 24-year-old will undergo his medical at the Tyneside.
The report claims that the Belgian international spent last night in a Newcastle hotel ahead of his medical.
The deal is all but done, and it remains to be seen whether it can be completed in time for the FA Cup clash against Watford at St James’ Park.
