Newcastle United are closing in on a deal for PSG defender David Rozehnal.

The Journal says PSG have revealed that discussions with Newcastle are at an advanced stage following the agreement of a fee of around £2.5m.

"The deal is close to being completed," said a source close to PSG sporting director Alain Roche last night. "There has been contact between the clubs and a fee between three and four million euros has been agreed.

"It is not quite there but there aren't any problems expected from PSG and we already know that Rozehnal would be very happy with a move to the Premiership with Newcastle United."
