Newcastle prepare a £10 million bid for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755
English Premier League side Newcastle United are currently in talks with Gervinho, the Lille star, who was previously linked with a move to Liverpool. The Magpies are hoping for a summer swoop for the 23-year-old Ivory Coast international, who has caught the attention of most top clubs with his impressive performance this season.
The Ligue 1 side would be prepared to offload the youngster at the end of the season if the right price is offered. Newcastle will be looking to spend in the upcoming transfer window, having sold their top striker Andy Carroll to Liverpool for a shocking £35 million.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 recently signed Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez for a total of £58 million during January they are still interested in signing Gervinho. The young striker scored an impressive 11 goals in 24 appearances and is going strong as the season progresses.
Even though the Reds are most likely going to bid for Gervinho once again, it is Newcastle who are now in a better position to sign him. The player himself knows he will get better first team opportunities under Alan Pardew as compared to at Liverpool with competition like Suarez and Carroll.
Pardew is thought to be willing to spend over £10 million on the highly rated Ligue 1 striker, who has the potential to be one of the top strikers.
