Tiote Sale To Cover New Signings

Last updated : 12 August 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

...  Arsenal are interested in Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote amid growing suggestions that he is on his way out of St James’ Park.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is a long-term admirer of the player and the Daily Express says the Frenchman is considering making a move.

The 28-year-old could go for about £8million, as Mike Ashley looks to recoup the extra money on top of the £12m he picked up for Mathieu Debuchy.

Alan Pardew has not spent that much money on his nine signings, if you work it out that he had £12m from the Debuchy deal and the megga money from Yohan Cabaye's transfer.

If Tiote goes for £8m, Ashley has made a hell of a profit!

So don't believe any rumours Ashley has spent his own money this summer.
