Newcastle United will demand £15 million for Cheick Tiote in January.
Tiote has stunned Newcastle by revealing he wants out - just days after Alan Pardew insisted tying the Ivory Coast star to a new contract was a top priority.
The Ivorian yesterday declared he hopes Arsenal revive their interest in him.
After four years on Tyneside, the 28-year-old wants to move on - and has left the door open to a January move to the Emirates Stadium.
