Deportivo La Coruna defender Fabricio Coloccini is on Tyneside today to complete his move to Newcastle United.

The Evening Chronicle says word from St James's Park today was that Coloccini had finally arrived.

If this is the case, he will have a medical before finally agreeing a deal.

The word is that Coloccini and his agent have already approved his personal terms, but there has been no confirmation of this from the club.
