The Magpies and Manchester City have both made contact with intentions of a deal, but it's Sam Allardyce who looks like winning the race to land the imposing stopper.

Because ... Dragutinovic is a massive fan of Alan Shearer and knows all about the Geordie GOALden boy.

Sevilla have agreed to let Dragutinovic leave and a deal close to £2.5million is set to be agreed.

Newcastle have offered the centre-half a three-year contract to move to St James' Park and the Serbian is keen on the switch.

Dragutinovic: "This is the financial opportunity of my life and do not want to reject it. I know Newcastle and Alan Shearer from his days with England. I would like to play for Newcastle in the Premiership."
