Newcastle have reached agreement with Ajax over a £6.2 million deal for Dutch international Vurnon Anita, according to the Daily Mail.
Toon had a £5m bid turned down in July for Anita, 23, who can play left-back or in midfield.
At the time, the player's agent said: "There is serious interest from Newcastle. A move to the Premier League is so tempting for him. We have to resolve the situation quickly."
He was a key part of Ajax's title-winning side last season and coach Frank de Boer was keen to keep hold of him, having seen captain Jan Vertonghen already depart the club for Tottenham.
He made his farewell appearance for Ajax on Sunday against AZ Alkmaar and is due for a medical at Newcastle on Monday.
