Newcastle Target Mevlut Erdinc...



Pardew has admitted Erdinc is on his radar. The PSG forward may have to give room to Newcastle's former target Gameiro. Are we securing a displaced striker to our former target? With Gameiro coming into the PSG front line, Erdinc has no where to go but us.

“Erdinç has always been on our radar," Pardew said.

“He’s a very good player and that is all I will say at the moment.

“We had a bit of a disappointment with Kevin Gameiro as he has decided to go elsewhere. We made a fantastic offer to the club and to him but these things happen.

“We tried very hard on that one, but we always knew there would be setbacks along the way and we have always had other people in mind, deals we have been trying to keep to ourselves for obvious reasons.

“We are working extremely hard to make those deals happen and I’m pretty happy with how things have gone so far. We should have another signing finished in the next few days, and we will able to confirm that one as well.”

The 24 year old is said to have bags of talent and has scored 28 goals in 70 games for PSG. He joined the french club for a reported fee of around 9m euros. In his first season with PSG, Erdinc scored 19 goals in 36 games, however, his second was not as good with just 9 goals in 34.

Newcastle have now been linked with so many french clubs that one tends to wonder whether Ashley is looking back on his words in regards to Arsenal as being a role model club to follow.
