• Borussia Mönchengladbach forward to undergo medical
• Yohan Cabaye set to join PSG in £20m deal

Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Luuk de Jong is travelling for a medical at Newcastle on Tuesday, as the club look to rebuild following the loss of Yohan Cabaye to Paris St-Germain.

Cabaye will undergo his medical in France after the two clubs agreed a £20m fee on Monday night. Yet Alan Pardew has seemingly acted swiftly to recruit before Friday’s transfer deadline, with the Holland forward De Jong set to sign on loan.

Newcastle are also understood to be lining up potential moves for two midfielders: Montpellier’s Rémy Cabella and Lyon’s Clément Grenier, although whether either deal can be agreed before the window closes is questionable.

Cabaye’s move to PSG now seems a formality. Although Mike Ashley, Newcastle’s owner, rejected a £14m bid for the playmaker over the weekend, hours of subsequent negotiations with PSG took place on Monday after Olivier Létang, PSG’S assistant sporting director, arrived at St James’ Park. Those talks concluded with a second, acceptable bid in the region of Ashley’s £20m asking price.

The 28-year-old creator arrived from Lille for a bargian £4.3m in 2011.
