Benfica midfielder Andreas Samaris is close to joining Newcastle United.
The Sun says Toon boss Rafa Benitez is close to agreeing an £18 million deal with Benfica for Samaris.
The Greek midfielder, 28, has won three successive league titles in Portugal and will add valuable experience.
Toon boss Benitez has signed Christian Atsu, Florian Lejeune, Javier Manquillo and Jacob Murphy this summer.
And Greek outlets are claiming Samaris is close to joining them as Newcastle improved on their £13m offer which was rejected.
