Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is in discussions with club owner Mike Ashley regarding a transfer move for Canadian winger Junior Hoilett. Hoilett's contract expires with Blackburn at the end of the season.
Blackburn had been locked in talks with Hoilett regarding a new contract for several months, but it appears that Hoilett has his heart set on a move away from Rovers.<br />
Newcastle are lining up a 6m GBP offer for Hoilett, and are confident that they can persuade the winger to leave Ewood Park for St. James'.<br />
Newcastle currently have winger Sylvain Marveux out through injury, whilst Hatem Ben Arfa is struggling to return to full fitness; and eyefootball understands that Hoilett is being lined up as an alternative.
