Newcastle Transfer News: Magpies Deal For Aleksandar Mitrovic "Agreed"
Partizan Belgrade chairman claims Newcastle United have sealed a £15m deal.
"All of you criticised me when I sold Mitrovic and now it has turned out that it was an excellent move. "We sold him for 5 million and now Partizan will gain another 3.4 million - a total of 8.4 million for one player. "According to my information, the transfer of Mitrovic to Newcastle is a done deal - it is a matter of time before he signs."A powerful and relatively-quick forward, Mitrovic has an eye for goal and he grabbed headlines when he scored Anderlechts equaliser at the Emirates Stadium last November when the Belgian side came from three goals down to draw 3-3 against Arsenal in a Champions League group-stage match. Anderlecht paid Partizan Belgrade a club-record £4 million for the 11-cap Serbia international, who started his career at Teleoptik, back in August 2013 and he has gone on to become one of Europes most sought-after forwards. This season, Mitrovic has bagged 26 goals in 48 matches, including 17 in 33 Belgian Pro League appearances and three in the Champions League.
