Newcastle United FC not willing to give up on Paris Saint-Germain’s striker Mevlut Erding – Ligue 1 News
Newly appointed Sporting Director of Paris Saint-Germain and former Internazionale coach, Leonardo, was recently seen in talks with Newcastle united FC for the transfer of the Turkish striker Mevlut Erding.
In the 2009/10 season, Erding was third in the list of top scorers in the league. He scored 15 goals in 31 matches and received the Player of the year award from his Club in the same year. The Saint-Claude-born has great control of the ball and his sheer brilliance alone can win matches.
English Premier League side Newcastle United FC are quite confident that they will be able to bring the Turkish international to the St. James Park.
Alan Pardew, coach of The Magpies, had this to say, “We are working extremely hard to make the deal happen and I'm pretty happy with how things have gone so far.”
Earlier this month, The Magpies had offered an official bid of 8.5 million Euros deal which was rejected by the youngster.
The Brazilian midfielder is expected to sign four players in a few days. Queens Park Rangers midfielder Adel Taarabt, AS Roma winger Jeremy Menez, Valenciennes Football Club centre-back Milan Bisevac and ASSE’s defensive midfielder Blaise Matuidi are all touted to be arriving soon.
