Newcastle consider Emana

Newcastle are considering a move for Achile Emana. The Toulouse midfielder is on the radar of several other Premiership sides; but it seems the Toon are set to make a £4 million offer to beat their rivals to his signature.

His advisor, Sebastien Thiery, is reportedly ready to assess the options Emana has.

Thiery said: "Achille is ready to play in the Premier League and Newcastle is a team he would relish playing for.

"He is strong and is a box-to-box midfielder who also possesses a lot of pace.

"He has the right number of caps and the right amount of experience at 25 not to be overawed by the Premier League, which would be an exciting challenge."
