DeAndre Yedline has made 10 appearances in all competitions this season

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."
