Latest from Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett, Mark McAdam & Keith Downie:

Newcastle have given Jamaal Lascelles permission to undergo his Leicester medical and discuss personal terms after the club agreed for him to move on.

The 32-year-old has had limited game time at Newcastle and is out of contract in the summer.

Leicester look to have won the race to sign Lascelles baring any last minute hitches after a number of Championship clubs expressed an interest in the defender.

Lascelles is the current Newcastle captain having been at the club since his arrival from Forest in August 2014.

In his 11 years he’s made over 250 appearances.

A great servant of the club. A true hero of the dark days. Nothing but love for Jamal for everything he did for us.

I wish him nothing but the very best going forward in his new career challenge. I do hope they can arrange a testimonial for the lad in the summer. He certainly deserves one.
