Newcastle close in on Auxerre star
Posted Tuesday, November 15, 2011 by Talksport.co.uk
Newcastle are in advanced talks with Alain Traore, and Alan Pardew is confident of signing the Frenchman in January.
Pardew wanted to land Auxerre star Traore in the summer but negotiations stalled and he eventually ran out of time to do the deal.
The Newcastle manager has retained an interest in the midfielder, though, and will push through a deal when the window re-opens on January 1.
Traore, a Burkina Faso international, is desperate to move to the Premier League and Auxerre are willing to grant his wish.
The 22-year-old is now set to move to St James' Park, with Newcastle and Auxerre close to agreeing terms.
