Newcastle forward set for medical at Premier League rivals

According to Sky Sources, Alexsandar Mitrovic is in London putting the finishing touches on his permanent move to Fulham from Newcastle United.

The 22-year-old Serbian striker left the Newcastle training camp in Porto on Saturday evening after the clubs finally agreed on a deal of £22 million, which will eventually rise to £27 million.

Mitrovic spent the second half of last season on loan at Craven Cottage and his 12 goals in 20 games helped Fulham earn a place in the play-offs, which they went on to win to earn promotion back to the Premier League.

Mitrovic joined Newcastle from Anderlecht back in 2015, but he has struggled during his time at St. James’ Park, scoring just 17 goals in 72 appearances for the Magpies.

Therefore, it looks like this is a deal that both clubs will be happy with and he is expected to undergo a full medical in the next 48 hours.
