Newcastle United have made three summer signings so far, but a fourth is reportedly on the way.

Newcastle United are reportedly on the brink of another new signing.

New Magpies boss Steve Bruce has made three summer additions so far – including Joelinton, who set them back a club-record £40 million.

But it looks like a fourth is on the way.

According to French outlet Courrier Picard, Newcastle are set to sign Amiens right-back Emil Krafth.

The Sun reported earlier in the week that Bruce had lodged a £4.5 million offer with the Ligue 1 side and it seems like it’s been accepted.

The report from Courrier Picard adds that Krafth was omitted from Amiens’ squad on Saturday in the event that he got injured, with the Premier League transfer window closing on Thursday.

The 25-year-old, who has 20 caps for Sweden, will join Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin and Jetro Willems – who is only on loan – as Bruce’s pre-season acquisitions.

United kick off their Premier League campaign with a tricky visit of Arsenal to the North-East next Sunday.
