Toon gossip

 

Almost evert paper this morning reports that Geremi is in talks with United over his proposed move on a free transfer from Chelsea.

 

The Daily Mail says that the Cameroon utility player will make his mind up during the next 48 hours over a move to Tyneside, while The Journal claims that the 28-year-old has already decided to join the Magpies.

 

One new name to emerge is that of FC Copenhagen centre-back Brede Hangeland. The 26-year-old Norway international is said to be available for a fee in the region of £2m, according to The Sun and The Times.

 

Again, the majority of titles carry the story of the Geordies being in talks with Barcelona over a move for their Brazilian World Cup winner Edmilson.

 

The Daily Mail say that Newcastle face competition from Milan for the 30-year-old's signature, while The Journal write that a potential stumbling block could be the player's wage demands which they claim are in excess of £100k per week.

 

And the Barcelona connection continues with striker Eidur Gudjonhsen linked with a switch to St.James' Park.

 

The Daily Mail, The Journal and The Times all say that the Geordies are in talks with the Catalan giants over the Icelandic international, with the Mail quoting a price tag of £4.5m.

 

Meanwhile, The Telegraph and The Times report that Big Sam is also tracking Chelsea pair Wayne Bridge and Lassana Diarra.

 

The Times also say that Marseille defender Habib Beye and Liverpool's Sami Hyypia remain a target for Allardyce.

 

And finally, The Daily Mirror report that Blackburn Rovers are set to beat United to the signature of Holland Under-21 forward Maceo Rigters.

Norwich City are Celtic's sole rivals for Maceo Rigters, although the NAC Breda striker favours a move to Parkhead.

 

Rigters is available for a knockdown fee of £400,000 and impressed for Holland at the recent European Under 21 Championship.

 

Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United and Rangers have all been linked with the forward, while NAC confirmed Celtic made an approach last week.

 

The Scottish champions are due to hold talks with the player in the coming days and currently only have to fend off interest from Norwich to add Rigters to their list of summer signings.

 

"I would hope to be in Glasgow on Monday and make a final agreement with Celtic," the pacey attacker's agent Tom Smit told the Daily Record.

 

"It is my hope that we can agree a deal soon. If I can't get into Scotland right away I'll be there on Tuesday.

 

"There are no other clubs involved apart from Norwich, but Celtic are way ahead."

 

NAC are resigned to Rigters quitting the club and will leave a decision in the hands of the 23-year-old, who has been unhappy at not playing in his preferred position at his current club.

 

Theo Mommers, NAC's general director, said: "I think now it is accepted he will not be staying.

 

"There are clubs interested and it is now up to Maceo to make a choice."
