Aleksander Mitrovic is set to return to Fulham on a permanent deal after the Cottagers agreed a fee with Newcastle for the Serbian.
The Mirror report that the striker has left the Newcastle training camp and flown back to the UK to complete his switch to West London, making his loan switch permanent.
Mitrovic was a vital part of the Fulham attack last season, leading the Cottagers to Wembley where they beat Aston Villa 1-0 to return to the Premier League after four years away from the top flight.
The Serbian notched 12 goals in 17 appearances for Fulham, being a key asset in Slavisa Jokanovic’s promotion-winning side.
The move therefore ends Mitrovic’s difficult spell in the North East. The Serbian joined Newcastle in July 2015 for a reported £13 million from Anderlecht. In his first season he scored nine times as the Magpies were relegated from the Premier League.
He would only score four times in Newcastle’s promotion-winning campaign and only made six appearances before joining Fulham on loan last season after a move to Anderlecht failed at the last minute.
