News outlets in Portugal seem to think that Newcastle are lining up a bid for Sporting Lisbon forward, Yanick Djalo.

In amongst all this World Cup malarkey we mustn’t forget that it is still a Sunday, although I am not entirely sure whether the Portuguese press are as bad as the English press when it comes to making stuff up, but either way it seems highly unlikely that the 24-year old will be heading to Tyneside anytime soon.
