Newcastle United are understood to have agreed a £10million fee with Inter Milan for Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins.
The player's representative has been on Tyneside and has now returned to Italy to discuss the offer with his client.
Martins yesterday revealed that a deal was 80% done, and Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd and manager Glenn Roeder will hope to finalise the transfer as they attempt to find a replacement for retired captain Alan Shearer.
