Newcastle United are reportedly closing in a double swoop to sign Georginio Wijnaldum and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The PSV Eindhoven midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Magpies as Steve McClaren has pinpointed the 24-year-old as his primary target this summer.
Mitrovic, who plies his trade for Anderlecht, was touted with a switch to Chelsea, but Newcastle are poised to beat the Blues along with other European clubs to sign the 20-year-old.
The Tynesiders are prepared to pay a combined fee of £28m for the duo, paying £16m for Wijnaldum and £12m to the Belgian side for the Serbia international, reports The Telegraph.
Newcastle begin their pre-season against Gateshead on Friday.
