Newcastle United hope to make it January signing number three today ahead of Bruno Guimaraes' medical in Brazil.
The 24-year-old midfielder was an unused sub for Brazil's 1-1 draw against Ecuador in the World Cup qualifiers last night but his agent Alexis Malavolta was pictured preparing for the journey to Belo Horizonte on his Instagram for his routine medical examination.
It is expected that Newcastle's medical team will also join the midfielder as the club look to clinch the £33.5million.
