Newcastle United seal triple swoop as Callum Wilson finalises £20m move and Ryan Fraser and Jamal Lewis deals agreed

Callum Wilson will be among three new arrivals at Newcastle United this week.

The striker is to undergo a medical with the Magpies on Monday after Bournemouth accepted the Premier League club’s £20million offer.

Wilson was also wanted by Aston Villa but made it clear he favoured a move to Newcastle and has now finalised personal terms with Steve Bruce’s side.

The 28-year-old, who has four England caps, made 184 appearances for the Cherries, scoring 67 goals, in his six-year spell at the Vitality Stadium.

Wilson will be joined at St James’ Park by former Bournemouth teammate Ryan Fraser.

Scotland international Fraser left the Cherries in June after turning down the offer of a new contract and will also have his medical on Monday. Fraser, 26, rejected interest from Crystal Palace to join Newcastle.

The third player incoming at the club will be Jamal Lewis.

Norwich have accepted Newcastle’s £15million bid for the left-back, who was the subject of interest from Liverpool in August.

Lewis, 22, made 28 appearances in the Premier League for Norwich last season.

He is currently away on international duty with Northern Ireland and is due to play in the Six Nations clash with Norway on Monday night before undergoing a medical with Newcastle later this week.
