Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed the club are close to signing Mark Viduka, whilst he also admits an interest in Tal Ben Haim.
The Middlesbrough striker is out-of-contract at The Riverside, but the Australian has shunned an offer to stay at Boro as well as other offers from Premiership and continental clubs.
Viduka is set to sign a three-year deal on Tyneside, to the delight of Allardyce.
"Mark is almost in the bag," Allardyce told the club's official website.
"It's been difficult because he has been on holiday, but we're nearly there.
"We hope to sort out a medical next week and then that will be done."
Allardyce also admitted that he was ready to make an offer to former charge Ben Haim - who is also out-of-contract at his ex-employers Bolton.
"Yes, I'm interested in Tal Ben Haim, he's a free agent and hopefully available," he said.
"He has got three or four years of experience in the Premiership and I know him inside out.
"We had a good working relationship, we grew in the Premiership together and I'm very interested in working with him again."
