Newcastle close in on Papiss Cisse move

Newcastle United have won the race to sign Freiburg and Senegal international striker Papiss Demba Cisse. The highly rated striker will reportedly complete a move to the Sports Direct Arena this week, for around 10 million GBP.

Alan Pardew wants to link up Demba Ba with his international colleague Papiss Cisse, and will spend a hefty bulk of his transfer fund to bring the Freiburg man to the club.


The 26 year old has shown his goalscoring abilities this year, and has been linked with a move to Sunderland this morning.


However, it appears Newcastle have won the race for his signature, and the striker's representatives are currently in the North of England thrashing out personal terms.
