Newcastle Set For Crunch Talks Over Lyon Defender

Newcastle will hold crunch talks with Lyon this weekend to decide the future of defender Aly Cissokho.

According to reports in France, the two sides will meet in an attempt to finally agree on a fee for the 23-year-old, who could fly to Newcastle for a medical on Monday.

Lyon are holding out for £9m while Newcastle are still understood to be £2m short.

The French club is also keen to receive most of the money up front while Newcastle is hoping to base the fee around performance-related add-ons.

But with both sides keen to reach an agreement, they hope the weekend’s meeting will help to finalize the deal.
