Newcastle United have struck a deal with Juventus for Lloyd Kelly. The 25-year-old is heading for his medical today after a price of £20million was agreed between the Magpies and the Serie A club.

The former AFC Bournemouth man will serve a loan deal with Juve, who are committed to make the deal a permanent move in the summer.

Kelly came on as substitute in the 2-1 defeat against Fulham in what proved to be his last outing for the club. His move from Bournemouth resulted in chances in the first team being few and far between.

It will be the second big exit of the winter transfer window for United, with Miguel Almiron joining Atlanta United in a £10m deal last week.

Kelly has seen first-team chances hard to come since arriving from Bournemouth, with Lewis Hall establishing himself as first-choice left-back, and Fabian Schar and Dan Burn the preferred centre-back partnership. Sven Botman now recovered from ACL surgery to add to competition for places in the heart of the defence.

Versatile defender Emil Krafth is also now available again after a shoulder injury, while United expect to have Jamaal Lascelles fit in te coming weeks after almost a year on the sidelnes. There had been interest in Kelly from Fenerbahce earlier in the window, but United held out for their pricetag for Kelly, who cost nothing in the summer.
