Sources understand Newcastle United have made an improved offer to sign Lille's France international Mathieu Debuchy. The right-back has been a long-term target for the Magpies and
Lille rejected an offer from the Premier League club earlier this
season. Lille were initially reluctant to let Debuchy go until a replacement
had been signed, but the capture of Djibril Sidibe from Troyes last week
appears to have accelerated the situation.Newcastle are now trying to push through a deal for the defender and
have upped their bid in an attempt to get the transfer done this week. Debuchy is keen to move to St James' Park and his close friend, and
former Lille team-mate Yohan Cabaye, revealed earlier this week that he
is hoping the deal will happen.The 27-year-old has three years left on his contract and has also
been linked with Inter Milan, but Newcastle are favourites to secure his
signature.
