Newcastle transfer news: DeAndre Yedlin set for Galatasaray move
- Published
Newcastle full-back DeAndre Yedlin is set to join Turkish side Galatasaray in a deadline-day move.
The 27-year-old American is surplus to requirements at Newcastle as they have two other right-backs.
Yedlin, who recently overcame a work permit issue, joined the Magpies on a five-year deal in 2016.
They are also in talks over a loan for Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock and boss Steve Bruce has confirmed interest in Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury.
Yedlin has made six Premier League appearances this season.
Bruce said: "Quite simply we have had three right-backs at the club now and DeAndre is suited to wing-back. It’s been no secret that we have made changes to a back four.
"I want to wish him best of luck playing in Turkey for a huge club like Galatasaray. He's a great professional, and a great lad.
“Sometimes you have to let one out to bring somebody in so it could be a busy day for us."
