Saivet set to join Bursaspor

Saivet, 27, had his medical on Thursday morning and will train with his new Bursaspor team-mates this week. 

The Senegalese international was sent on loan to Turkey for the second-half of last season, where he impressed at Sivasspor. 

Saivet has three-years left on his contract at Newcastle, though has only made five appearances in the Premier League for Rafa Benitez's side. 

The midfielder signed for the 'Magpies' in January 2016 for around £5m but then spent the next season on loan in Ligue 1 at Saint-Etienne.
