Newcastle United are ready to close a deal for AS Monaco attacker Emmanuel Riviere.
The Mail on Sunday says Newcastle are closing on a £6million deal for Riviere ahead of competition from West Bromwich Albion.
They also hope to conclude the £9.5m transfer of Montpellier midfielder Remy Cabella but have had a £4m offer rejected for Feyenoord defender Daryl Janmaat.
Riviere, 24, has represented France at all levels but is yet to be capped for the full side.
