Amiens defender Emil Krafth is in England today to finalise a move to Newcastle United.

Krafth has traveled to England to undergo his medical examination and then sign a four-year contract with Newcastle.

The player's agent Patrick Mork told SportExpressen: "The only thing I can say is that it is close with a new club for Emil.

"Otherwise, I can't comment on anything more right now."

Newcastle upped their offer to €1.5m this week for the Swede.
