The Swiss full-back is close to agreeing a deal with newly promoted side Fulham with a fee worth in the region of £7million being discussed with Wolfsburg, according to Sky Sports.

Mbabu, now 27, joined Newcastle as a 17-year-old back in 2013 and went on to play three times in the Premier League before being loaned out and eventually sold to Young Boys in 2017.

After leaving Newcastle five years ago, Mbabu posted on Twitter: “I would like to say a warm thank you to all Geordie fans for your wishes and support.

“I will remember all the heartfelt messages you sent me. Now I turn a page. But I will never forget you, the best fans in England.”

Since then, he has established himself for the Switzerland national team and with Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga.

He is now set for a Premier League return with Fulham this summer.
