Newcastle midfielder Tiote offered to Arsenal for set fee

Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote has been offered to Arsenal.

Agents on behalf of Tiote have been in touch with the Gunners about a move before tomorrow's deadline.

But the Daily Mail says Arsenal have decided against pursuing a move for the defensive midfielder.

Arsene Wenger was reported to be chasing a player in that position, but having secured Krystian Bielik earlier in the transfer window, he could hold out until the summer.

Tiote was offered to Wenger for a price of £12 million.
