Newcastle United are reportedly close to signing number four.

Some Newcastle United fans are enthused about potentially signing Emil Krafth.

According to French outlet Courrier Picard, the Magpies will make the Sweden right-back their fourth signing of the summer.

The Sun reported last week that Newcastle boss Steve Bruce had lodged a £4.5 million offer with the Ligue 1 side, a bid that appears to have been accepted.

The Amiens defender has 20 caps for Sweden under his belt and here’s how some fans of the North-East club reacted to possibly signing him.

It’s turning out to be a decent window for Newcastle, who have broken their club record in signing Joelinton and have also brought in Allan Saint-Maximin and Jetro Willems.

They have lost Rafael Benitez, the manager, and the St James’s Park faithful won’t forget or forgive that, but with a few more signings it could be a very decent first season for Bruce.

Signing someone of Krafth’s experience and quality for £4.5 million could be considered a major bargain, but time will tell whether it’s true or not.
