Roma Linked to Newcastle's Yohan Cabaye

AS Roma has been once again linked to Newcastle United's star midfielder Yohan Cabaye as the Frenchman used to play under coach Rudi Garcia during his time at Lille.

Despite winning the first 10 games of the season in Serie A, there seems to be just one problem with the capital side and that is the concern of the squad depth.

The Italian side are already looking towards January to help reinforce the squad and they have already found three Premier League names to target.

Along with Cabaye, Tottenham duo Sandro and Lewis Holtby are believed to be on Roma's radar but the Newcastle player is the main target with Sandro the most unlikely to leave their respective clubs.

The Tyneside club value their player at a price of around 15 million pounds which is an amount which Roma would probably be willing to meet.
