Ghana midfielder Christian Atsu is having a medical at Newcastle United after agreeing a deal to join the club on a season-long loan.
The loan deal also includes an option to buy the 24-year-old Ghana international outright at the end of the loan spell.
Atsu signed for Chelsea in a £3.5m deal from Porto in 2013 but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Blues.
The winger has been loaned out in each of his three seasons since signing a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Atsu joined Chelsea's affiliate Vitesse Arnhem in 2013-14, Everton in 2014-15 and both Bournemouth and Malaga last season.
