Black Stars winger Christian Atsu is set to leave current side Chelsea on loan to the Championship side Newcastle United.
The two sides have agreed a one year loan move for the 24 year old, with several reports noting an option to buy having been inserted into the deal for the Tyneside club.
The official announcement for the deal is the only thing left, and is expected imminently.
Newcastle were relegated from the English Premiership last season, and are building a squad under manager Rafael Benitez to get back up immediately and challenge for honours.
Atsu becomes the second high profile Stars player to move to the English second tier in the past few days, with skipper Asamoah Gyan also set to complete a loan switch to Reading.
