Newcastle winger Gabriel Obertan is open to the chance of a New Year move.

The former Manchester United winger, who joined Newcastle for £3million just over two years ago, was a loan target for Championship side Nottingham Forest in the summer.

Obertan, 24, has made only one appearance this season, as a substitute against Leeds in the Capital One Cup.

An early-season hamstring injury hampered the Frenchman, who admitted: “Everything is possible.

"I will see what’s going on until December, and I’ll see what’s best for me and the club.

“I can’t obviously keep being on the bench and not being involved. It’s a test mentally.

"You must keep focusing on an opportunity to play, because you never know when it will come, and I’ll be ready for it.”
