Newcastle and Southampton vie for Cheikhou Kouyate
NEWCASTLE and Southampton are both on the trail of Anderlecht’s Cheikhou Kouyate.
The versatile 23-year-old is ready to leave the Belgian club, having played for them since 2008.
He can play in defence or midfield and scouts from numerous Premier League clubs have travelled to watch him this season.
Arsenal were said to be keen on the Senegal international but their interest has apparently cooled.
