1 Bordeaux striker Diego Rolan

Bordeaux have rejected a bid from Newcastle for striker Diego Rolan.

The Magpies’ bid of £13million, plus Remy Cabella on loan, has been knocked back by the Ligue 1 side, who are desperate to keep hold of their prized asset.

Newcastle boss Steve McClaren has widened his search for a new striker, as he is still to meet QPR’s valuation of Charlie Austin and Anderlecht striker Alexander Mitrovic is stalling on a move to St James’ Park.

The Uruguay hitman scored 15 league goals last season and is keen on a move to the Premier League after two years in France.

The 22-year-old striker featured for his country in the Copa America, including the quarter-final defeat to Chile.
