Newcastle United are set to offload strikers Daryl Murphy and Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The pair will be moved on to make room for Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham.

Newcastle are confident that a season-long loan deal can be brokered for over the weekend, with Abraham in line to become the club's second signing of the summer from the Blues, following on from Christian Atsu's £6.2million switch last month.

The Sunderland Echo says the move could well pave the way for a departure in the United forward line, with Murphy and Mitrovic facing exits.
