Newcastle United are on the verge of signing MK Dons teenager, Dele Alli.
Before now, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with the midfielder.
It was gathered that the Nigeria-born England U-19 star will be loaned back to League One club until July. The Magpies will complete the signing of the 18-year-old midfielder this week for a fee of £4million, rising to £5million with add-ons.
Alli, though, will be loaned back to the League One club for the remainder of the season.
The highly-rated England Under-19 international – who was attracting interest from Arsenal and Liverpool – broke into the senior side two seasons ago and has scored 18 times from 71 appearances.
Speaking at the weekend, MK Dons boss Karl Robinson said: ‘He can be as good as he wants to be, he has got everything. He is special.’
Newcastle struck a similar deal with Nottingham Forest in the summer following the signings of goalkeeper Karl Darlow and defender Jamaal Lascelles. They will join Alli on Tyneside when the club report for pre-season training in July.
