Newcastle United have made a move for PSG goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

The 29-year-old keeper spent last season on loan at West Ham and reports suggest he is now looking for a permanent move.

RMC Sport says Newcastle have now entered the battle to sign him.

However, a deal may prove difficult as West Ham appear in pole position to sign Areola as they have the option to buy him for a rumoured £11million.

The Frenchman is also in the process of negotiating with David Moyes' side with West Ham wanting to accelerate talks now the player is back from international duty.
