The Magpies have made a major breakthrough in their summer recruitment drive, securing a deal for the French prospect. The move represents a significant victory for the club’s recruitment team, who have managed to negotiate the original asking price down from the widely reported £24 million.
The deal is now in its final stages, with the young shot-stopper flying to England to undergo medical tests. It marks the end of a long pursuit for the Magpies, who had been linked with the Reims talent several times over the previous months before reaching a definitive agreement with the Ligue 2 side.
