According to reports emanating from France Newcastle are looking at signing Marseille and France centre-forward Andre-Pierre Gignac. The Magpies are looking for new striking options and Gignac is considered one of their options. The French striker has also been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal in the past.
Gignac could be coming in a replacement for Senegalese striker Papiss Cisse, who refused to go on a pre-season tour, because the Magpies shirt sponsor next season will be a loan company. This act of defiance could see the striker being sold in the next couple of weeks according to Sky Sports anyway.
