Newcastle scouts are tracking Burkina Faso international Alain Traore, after a stunning season for Auxerre so far. The midfielder is valued by his club at around 6.5m GBP, but Auxerre are desperate to keep the player.
<em>"It’s a pleasure to know that these clubs are following me, </em><em>but at this time, that’s just a secondary thing." said Traore, when asked about any potential transfer away from Auxerre.</em><br />
<em>Newcastle, Everton, Paris St Germain and Sevilla are all interested in Traore's services, meanwhile Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has also recommended the player to good friend Roy Hodgson at West Brom.</em><br />
<em>The 22 year old has two years left on his current Auxerre deal.</em>
