Henri Saivet has secured a loan move to Turkish club Bursaspor, reportedly passing his medical on Monday morning.
The 27-year-old will move to Bursa for a loan fee of £800,000, according to Turkish publication Olay.
Signing for the Magpies in 2016, Saivet signed a five-and-a-half-year contract at St James’ Park. Despite this, the Senegalese international has made just five appearances for Newcastle, instead being loaned out twice in two years.
A 2016-17 season-long loan to Saint-Etienne saw the midfielder make 35 appearances all competitions for the French club, and a shorter spell a year later at another Turkish club in Sivasspor brought 12 appearances.
There is no suggestion that there is an option to buy in the deal.
Speaking to beIN Sport on Wednesday, The Mag report Saivet as saying:
I am very happy that I came to Bursaspor, and it was very important for me to be transferred here for my career.
I will be training with the team after the health check tomorrow.
Hopefully everything will be fine.
