Newcastle close in on £7m deal to sign French striker as talks accelerate
BAFETIMBI GOMIS is on the verge of joining Newcastle from Swansea, according to reports.
Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis is reportedly close to signing for Newcastle
The Magpies tried to sign Gomis before he joined Swansea from Lyon, but were put off by the player's wage demands.
However, according to the Daily Telegraph, Steve McClaren's side are becoming increasingly desperate to sign a striker before the transfer window closes and are keen on renewing their interest in Gomis.
