Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has instructed his scouts to check on Reims midfielder Romain Amalfitano. The Toon Army have a wealth of knowledge about the French football leagues from the scouting network, and are set to make another move for a French youngster.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is valued by his club at around 4 million, and has become a first team regular at Reims since making the move from Evian.<br />

The diminuitive midfielder is expected to travel to England to thrash out personal terms with Newcastle this week.<br />

Last month, when asked about a move to Newcastle, the player said:&nbsp;"I am a Reims player and I will be out of contract at the end of the season.<br />

"I want to finish this season strongly. Newcastle are a fantastic club and to play for them would be a dream come true, but nothing is done as yet. Let's wait and see what happens."
