According to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, former Chelsea midfielder Kyle Scott is set to undergo a medical at Newcastle United and complete a move to the club in the coming hours.
The U.S youth international has been handed a three-year contract after joining on a free transfer upon being released by the Blues at the end of last season.
Scott, a two-time UEFA Youth League winner with Chelsea was a target of former Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez, but his exit didn’t stop them from completing the move.
The American youngster can feature as a central, defensive or attacking midfielder, and the Toons reckon he has huge potential despite making only one senior team appearance for the Stamford Bridge outfit.
