Paris St Germain confirm interest in Newcastle star Cabaye

Paris St Germain manager Laurent Blanc has officially confirmed his long standing interest in French international midfielder Yohan Cabaye. The Newcastle star has been a revelation at St. James' Park this year and has been linked with a £25 million move back to his homeland.

Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic is also a target for PSG and Blanc is considering a move for Yohan Cabaye as well. However, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is reluctant to sell a player who has brought so much value this year for their campaign and has slapped an audacious £40 million price tag on the midfielder.

Blanc spoke to the press about his interest in the duo: "Yes, Cabaye and Pjanic are both our targets for January, it is true."

Newcastle director of football Joe Kinnear has been instructed to keep an eye out for a replacement midfielder just in case PSG have an offer for Cabaye accepted.
