Manchester United are reportedly targeting Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye.
The Premier League champions are keen to bolster their midfield and have turned to the Frenchman after missing out on Thiago Alcantara.
According to the Sunday People, United will bid £15m, hoping to beat big-spending Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco to his signature.
The French international has become disillusioned with life at St James' Park after last season's narrow relegation miss and has made it clear that a fresh challenge would appeal to him.
Magpies director of football Joe Kinnear has done little to help the situation, referring to Cabaye as Kebab in a radio interview.
