Newcastle united are closing in on a 5 million deal for Paris St.Germain striker Mevlut Erdinc.
Newcastle have been tracking the French-born, Turkish international, 24, for some time and are understood to have lodged an initial 5 million bid.
PSG, who paid Sochaux 8 million for Edrinc two years ago, ideally want their money back.
But French sources say they are likely to meet halfway with Newcastle in their valuation.
PSG beat Newcastle in the 10 million chase for Lorient's French striker Kevin Gameiro, but his arrival in the French capital has paved the way for Erdinc exit.
Meanwhile, new Birmingham boss Chris Hughton wants toon trio winger Wayne Routledge, striker Leon Best, and midfielder Danny Guthrie.
