Brett Emerton has completed his medical, and is set to sign. He will be leaving Dutch giants Feyenoord, and the 24-year-old Austrailian will make many fans happy...

Shame he didn't pass a "St James' Park Medical" though! Looks like he is off to Blackburn Rovers!

Blackburn Rovers are on the verge of signing Australia international Brett Emerton after he completed his medical at Ewood Park.

Blackburn chief executive John Williams said: "I can confirm that further discussions have taken place and are ongoing. The player himself has undergone a medical and we are making progress."
