Newcastle United could make a summer move for Montpellier ace Remy Cabella, [football] direct news understands.
Reports of a deal between Newcastle and French club Montpellier were found to be unfounded during the January transfer window when the Premier League side denied any agreement.
However, Montpellier chairman Laurent Nicollin is still certain a deal will go ahead later this summer with Cabella touted to be the perfect replacement for Yoann Cabaye who joined Paris Saint Germain in January.
The 23-year-old is currently valued at £15m but that is thought not to dishearten Alan Pardew who is keen to add some extra firepower to his attack.
Cabella has made 17 appearances for the French U21 side and has been knocking on the door for a senior call up.
