Newcastle United have made a £10.5million bid for after storming into the race to sign him, according to reports.

Lyon forward N’Jie is one of the most sought after players around and was subject of a bid from Tottenham earlier in the window.

Arsenal have since been strongly linked with a move, but L’Equipe say Newcastle have emerged as favourites to sign him after making a £10.5m offer.

The bid is slightly short of Lyon’s valuation for the player but the French club are open to selling and further negotiations could get it over the line.


A speedy striker who can play on the wing, N’Jie is tipped for a big future in the game.
