Bolton boss Gary Megson has confirmed Kevin Nolan is on the verge of joining Newcastle.

Nolan has travelled to Tyneside for talks and a medical after Newcastle agreed a fee in the region of £4.5million for the midfielder.

Megson admitted he knew little about Nolan’s proposed move to St James’ Park.

“The situation as we speak is that the club received a bid from Newcastle which the club accepted and he’s up there having a medical at the moment,” said Megson.

“For any more details that you’re going to need or want to know you will have to go to the press office of the football club and they will let you know what we’re doing.

“That’s as far as I’m going to go with it.”

Megson also ruled the possibility of signing Miguel Veloso from Sporting Lisbon.
