From the Chronicle:
Newcastle will continue to monitor Turkish striker Nihat Kahveci after scouting him for the second time in five days.
United were represented in Istanbul in midweek as Nihat (above) and his fellow countrymen suffered World Cup play-off agony against Switzerland.
And although another reputed Toon target, Tuncay Sanli, netted a hat-trick against the Swiss, Nihat remains higher on Graeme Souness' hit-list.
United's interest in Nihat was revealed in last week's Sunday Sun, with the 25-year-old out of contract at Real Socieded next summer and looking for a lucrative move.
Swiss left-back Ludovic Magnin has also caught Newcastle's eye, while reports in Europe have also linked the Magpies with his team-mate Alexander Frei, the Rennes striker.
---------------------------------------
Ja takk til Nihat. Ein skikkeleg kanonspiss. Har eit knallhardt skudd og er vanvittig rask. Gå for han!
Vi er også linka Alexander Frei , Sanli Tuncay og Ludovic Magnin .
Vel, det er vel ikkje den beste kombinasjonen? Tyrkere og sveitsere!
Drit i Alexander Frei, makan til klyse.
