Newcastle United are confident of completing the signing of Tenerife striker Ayoze Perez – and it has emerged that Montpellier star Remy Cabella is also keen on the move to Tyneside.
Nothing has been agreed by either Newcastle or Montpellier in terms of a fee after the Ligue 1 club felt that United’s opening bid was below his valuation.
But it is understood that Cabella, who could yet go to the World Cup if Franck Ribery drops out with a back injury, was happy with the terms suggested by the representatives, while the idea of regular first-team football in the Premier League sells itself.
