Newcastle United transfer target Bafetimbi Gomis has gone AWOL from Ligue 1 side Lyon.

Gomis was supposed to attend a meeting about his future with Lyon yesterday.

But Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said: 'We gave him a letter by hand but he did not come.'

Aulas had previously admitted to the French media that there was interest from Newcastle.

It is believed the Magpies have an offer on the table for the striker .
