Nihat to Newcastle - £2mill

January 7, 2006

Translation.....

Newcastle could be Nihat's ultimate destination

The Turk has one foot and a half in the Premier League.

The forward, who had negotiated with Spartak Moscow, is more tempted by the idea of playing in the Premier League.

When everything had suggested that Real Socidead's Turkish forward, Nihat Kahveci, was about to move to Russian outfit Spartak Moscow, things have taken an unexpected 360 degrees turn. The Turkish striker's future appears to be much closer to Britain than to Russia.

'Sport' has learned from sources close to Graeme Souness that he has been in contact with the player and is very close to persuading the player.

It appears the Magpies would be ready to close the transfer of Nihat paying a figure close to 2 million euros and an annual 2.8 million euros in wages to the player, who is much more tempted by the possibility of playing the following years in the Premier League than in cold Russia.

But the offer from Newcastle isn't the only offer f to arrive from England for the Turkish player, who seems to have put Newcastle at the top of his list ahead of the interested West Ham. The reason is his fellow countryman Emre, who has spoken wonders of the English club.
