da marjack bet： Lyon have told Newcastle to increase their offer for Aly Cissokho or miss out on signing him before the transfer window shuts talkSPORT understands.
da winzada777： The French club value Cissokho at £10 million but the Magpies have only offered £7 million.
Boss Alan Pardew is desperate to sign a left back before Wednesday’s deadline and French international has soared to the top of his list after a deal for Erik Pieters broke down.
Talks with original target Pieters have stalled despite the PSV Eindhoven star stating his desire to play in England.
Signing Cissokho has now emerged as Pardew’s number one priority with the window ready to snap shut.
Owner Mike Ashley has made money available after the Magpies boss made it clear he needed a replacement for Jose Enrique who joined Liverpool earlier this month.
However the St James’ Park supremo isn’t prepared to sanction funds to the tune of £10 million but is willing to make up the difference with performance related add-ons although that won’t appeal to the Ligue 1 side.
Lyon want the money up front and have urged Newcastle to up their offer to land a player who has been a mainstay in the Stade de Gerland defence since joining from Porto in 2009.
