The race for Montpellier star Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is heating up.
Newcastle United were reported to be leading the chase for the highly-rated 23-year-old but his agent has now admitted that Yanga-Mbiwa is unlikely to head to the Premier League.
"We haven't talked to Newcastle," Tim Hagar told The Journal.
"It is not true that there has been an approach and he won't go to Newcastle. I don't know where he will be going but we have interested clubs in Germany.
"I think he will go to Germany - I don't know why Newcastle haven't followed up their interest."
