N'Zonzi Jumps Ship But Will It Tempt Toon?

According to reports today, the agent of Blackburn Rovers midfielder N'Zonzi has linked his player with Newcastle (and nine other clubs).

The agent claims: "A number of Premier League clubs are chasing the player."

The Lancashire Telegraph claims as many as 10 clubs are now considering making a move for the 23-year-old, with Newcastle United, Stoke City and Fulham said to be among those interested.

Following Rovers’ relegation earlier this month, it seems obvious the midfielder wants to jump ship, but is Alan Pardew seriously interested?

Or is it a ploy to tell the Premiership clubs of his availability?
