Mitrovic about to sign for Newcastle?

TRANSFERS Aleksandar Mitrovic will sign for Newcastle this weekend. At least that's what we can read in the Belgian media today. According to the newspapers, the striker can sign a contract for five years.

The striker was in a remarkable good mood on training today: sign of his upcoming transfer to England? Further details are not yet known, but it's likely Anderlecht will receive a net amount of 17 million euro for the player. Those were the conditions Herman Van Holsbeeck had set. Other clubs such as AS Roma, Benfica and Porto were not willing to pay this high transfer fee.
