Nancy have confirmed they have agreed a deal with Newcastle United for the defender Massadio Haïdara.

The 20-year-old full back has made 17 appearances in Ligue 1 this season and will today head to the north east for a medical.

"After 46 games and two-and-a-half years in the Nancy shirt, Massadio Massadio Haïdara is leaving his former club for Newcastle United, currently sixteenth in the Premier League," a statement on the club's website read. "The two clubs have reached an agreement and will finalise the transfer on Tuesday."

On Monday, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was scheduled to undergo a medical at the club before a £7m move from Montpellier.
