Ipswich Town are close to completing the signing of Shola Ameobi after agreeing a fee with Newcastle United for the striker.
The former England Under-21 international has been linked with a move to the Championship club throughout the summer and met manager Jim Magilton over the weekend after the two clubs agreed terms.
The 26-year-old striker, who finished last season on loan in the Championship with Stoke City, is currently undergoing a medical at Portman Road.
"We have agreed a fee with Newcastle for Shola and he spent yesterday at the club having a medical," Magilton told the club's official website.
"We've had a good chat and things are moving on.
"He will be with us again today (Tuesday) and hopefully we can get it all tied up."
