da dobrowin： Newcastle could be in store for a busy end to the transfer window as they inch closer towards a deal for Inter Milan’s Valentino Lazaro, according to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie.
What’s the latest?
News broke of the Magpies’ interest in the Inter Milan player last week, with Steve Bruce admitting he was a target of interest following his agent’s visit to St. James’ Park last weekend.
However, the proposed move was cast into doubt when RB Leipzig also showed an interest in the versatile player, who can play wing-back, but Downie has now reported that a medical will now take place tomorrow.
He has added that there will be an option in the deal to make the move permanent for £20m, while journalist Fabrizio Romano has said the loan fee is set at €1.5m [£1.2m].

Problems at wing-back?
The north-east outfit have been after the Inter player for a significant period of timeÂand given how the match against Everton played out Steve Bruce may be more determined than ever to add him to his squad.
Newcastle snatched a draw at Goodison Park but they were outplayed by the home side, who enjoyed eight shots on target compared to Newcastle’s three, with the possession split 55%-45% in favour of the Toffees.
Injury issues hindered the Magpies with Allan Saint-Maximin unavailable and Jonjo Shelvey being rested, but it was right wing-back that was a key position of weakness.
Both Javier Manquillo and DeAndre Yedlin were unavailable once again, leading Bruce to opt to play Isaac Hayden out of position, as he had done against Chelsea.
That highlights the lack of faith he has in Emil Krafth, and if the injuries to Manquillo and Yedlin are serious then it is easy to understand why he is so keen on Lazaro.
Who the heck is that?! Can you name all 25 of these obscure Newcastle signings…
In truth, even with all of his players fit the right wing-back position is one that is in need of improvement. Yedlin’s seven league starts suggests Bruce doesn’t have confidence in him, and Manquillo doesn’t provide the dynamism needed to be an effective attacking threat.
That is evidenced by his 70% pass accuracy, not to mention the fact that he has averaged 0.7 dribbles and 0.2 key passes per game this term, as per WhoScored.
Lazaro has just four starts this season, but last year he managed nine goal contributions for Hertha Berlin as well as 1.1 dribbles and 1.8 key passes per league game, indicating that he would be able to increase Newcastle’s attacking threat and therefore act as an upgrade on Newcastle’s current options.
Newcastle’s transfer activity may not stop with the Austrian, however, with their eye reportedly set on another exciting target.
