Newcastle United make Andre Ayew approach

Newcastle United have made a formal approach to Marseille midfielder Andre Ayew, according to The Mail.

The Ghana international's existing deal expires at the end of the season, and a host of European clubs are believed to be interested in his services.

The Mail claims that the Tyneside giants have contacted the player's agent over the potential move ahead of the summer transfer window.

Everton, Roma and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a move for the 25-year-old in recent weeks.

Ayew has notched up six goals for the Ligue 1 outfit this season.
