Toon Eye Sigurdsson

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew previewed our match at the Liberty Stadium full of praise for Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Now reports in the Daily Mirror suggest Pardew is set to make a summer bid for the 22-year old.

Sigurdsson is currently on a season long loan at Swansea from German outfit Hoffenheim, and even though he has impressed with his tally of 7 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances, the club may not be able to seal a permanent transfer with the fee of £8m being touted.

Pardew is hoping to hang onto Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote, but Sigurdsson’s calibre is in keeping standards high at the club.
