Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has admitted defeat in his efforts to sign Israel defender Tal Ben Haim.
The 25-year-old, who is out of contract at Bolton, seems destined to join Chelsea, who made a bid for him during the January transfer window.
Allardyce told the club's official website, www.nufc.co.uk: "It's looking like Tal will be going to Chelsea, unfortunately.
"We have had a long, hard go, but I think the lure of the (former) champions has perhaps just pipped me at the post."
Chelsea's new first-choice right-back?
Update: Seems to be official now.
