Liverpool are set to rival Arsenal for the signing of Yohan
Cabaye as Newcastle brace themselves for renewed interest in the French
midfielder in January.
Newcastle remain keen to hold onto Cabaye, but reports
suggest that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has not given up hope of luring the
27-year-old to the Emirates.
And according to the Northern Echo, Liverpool are also
monitoring the situation at St James' Park in the hope that Cabaye might be
persuaded to make the move to Anfield.
Roma, with Cabaye's former coach at Lille Rudi Garcia at the
helm, are also interested while Paris Saint Germain boss Laurent Blanc is a
known admirer but may have turned his attention to other targets.
It is thought that Newcastle are unwilling to sanction
Cabaye's departure unless their £18m valuation of the player is met.
In addition to Cabaye, Papiss Cisse and Sylvain Marveux have
also been linked with January moves having found themselves overlooked in
favour of Alan Pardew's favoured attacking trio of Loic Remy, Yoan Gouffran and
Hatem Ben Arfa recently.
The Magpies insist that they don't want either player to
leave, with Cisse especially backed to recapture the form he showed in his
first six months at the club, but that attitude may change if substantial bids
are received for the pair in the upcoming transfer window.
