Newcastle are set to take their spending to £120m today - after agreeing a deal to sign top French teenager Hugo Ekitike.
Eddie Howe went back in for the Reims striker over the weekend and a deal has been accepted by the League 1 club.
The 19-year-old will cost £33m plus bonus payments as the Geordies - linked with 200 players this month - force through another huge deal with Saudi cash.
Newcastle will also land Dan Burn from Brighton for £13m and Matt Targett on loan from Aston Villa on deadline day.
They have already spent £77m on Lyon and Brazil playmaker Bruno Guimaraes, Chris Wood for £25m from Burnley and Kieran Trippier for £12m from Atletico Madrid.
Howe has now seriously upgraded his relegation-threatened squad which and the Saudi backed owners lived up to their promise to spend their way out of trouble.
Newcastle are now racing to get the Ekitike, scorer of eight goals in his breakthrough season, done before the transfer deadline.
Newcastle have also pursued other deals that have stalled an dit remains to be seen whether they are ressurected today.
Jesse Lingard wants to join on loan from Manchester United.
They also missed out on their top two defensive targets, Seville’s Diego Carlos, and Lille star Sven Botman both rated at £40m.
After years of deadline day being a dud under Mike Ashley, Newcastle have become Europe’s leading players, and will now believe they have enough to stay in the Premier League.
Howe now has to trim his first team squad. Jeff Hendrick and Ciaran Clark are both interesting Chris Wilder at Boro and available for a move.
Freddy Woodman could join Bournemouth and Elliot Anderson is available for a loan.
Dwight Gayle could be made available when Ekitike has signed, sparking a scramble among Championship teams for the goal-scorer.
