Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has arrived in Newcastle ahead of his medical.

It is understood the Magpies will pay a fee in the region of £13m for the Serbia international.

The player’s representatives were on Tyneside last week finalising personal terms after an agreement was reached with his Belgian club.

Mitrovic is a 20-year-old forward who scored 23 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions for Anderlecht last season.

He impressed in the Champions League group stages, scoring in the matches against Borussia Dortmund and a 3-3 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates in November.

Mitrovic has scored 30 goals in 78 in all competitions for Anderlecht since joining them from Partizan Belgrade in a club record 5m euros deal in August 2013.
