Newcastle United are in advanced talks with Inter Milan for Valentino Lazaro.

TMW says Newcastle are thought to be close to sealing a deal to bring Inter winger Lazaro to St. James' Park on loan.

The 23-year-old has only made six appearances in Serie A this season, and is said to be open to a move to England.

It is believed the loan could include a clause which would allow the Magpies to sign the player permanently in the summer for around £17m.
