It was claimed Newcastle made a summer offer for Senegal/Belgian defender Cheikhou Kouyate and he can now leave but only for a ‘spectacular offer’, or else it will be the summer.
“Seven million requested by Anderlecht, I think it’s a lot. I do not think a Premier League club would pay this amount for me. I believe that Anderlecht should lower my selling price.”
“I will not tell you the name of the clubs but Cheikhou has had previous contact with clubs from the middle of the table in England. He has not made the choice yet and wants to get the right balance between the football challenge, his family and the financial side of it.”
