The transfer of Lorenzo Pellegrini to Newcastle has reportedly reached a breakthrough stage after Roma gave the green light to the move and accepted a formal offer. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the interested team is about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Tottenham and West Ham decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. Newcastle look balanced this season - 1.42 goals scored and 1.42 goals conceded per game. Lorenzo Pellegrini would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Roma have also been linked with Othmane Maamma, Bryan Zaragoza Martinez and David Moller Wolfe while Newcastle are reportedly monitoring Michael Olabode Kayode, Curtis Jones and Andrew Robertson.
