Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign an Arsenal winger in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
It's been an interesting summer transfer window for Newcastle so far, losing two of their key stars in Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.
The Magpies have clearly had a big shift in their transfer dealings and their recruitment strategy, targeting up-and-coming talent rather than proven players.
Newcastle have made three new additions in the summer transfer window, with all of those players being 20 or under.
Bazoumana Toure, Sean Steur, and Ewen Jaouen have all arrived through the door at St. James's Park, with Newcastle looking to replace their outgoing players with signings with high potential.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle have agreed to do a deal to sign Arsenal and England Under-17 winger Kyran Thompson, with the deal now in place.
Newcastle beat a number of clubs to his signature, with Thompson leaving Arsenal as a free agent.
It is certainly a positive sign that Newcastle are able to attract young talent, especially when there is plenty of competition for the player.
It is unlikely that Thompson will come in and make an immediate impact on the senior squad, but it could be an exciting signing for the future.

Newcastle might need some ready-made additions
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe looks on glumly
Although it's an exciting plan for Newcastle to bring in some of the best talent from around Europe, they may also need to add some ready-made signings to their squad.
Losing Tonali and Gordon means that Newcastle have two guaranteed starters heading through the exit door, and the players that have come in to replace them might not be able to adapt to Premier League football immediately.
The new additions will need time to adapt and grow, meaning Newcastle can't heavily rely on them instantly.
Although a handful of young signings will be beneficial, they also need some players to come in and be guaranteed starters.
