Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is chasing Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner.
The Daily Star Sunday says the Denmark forward will need to take a significant wage cut to fit into the structure at St James' Park.
Bendtner is out of contract on a reported £60,000-a-week deal at the Emirates but may need to take as much as a 50% cut for Pardew to be able to convince owner Mike Ashley to do business
