Roma keen on Newcastle midfielder

Il Corriere dello Sport reports that Cabaye is wanted by his former Lille boss, Rudio Garcia.

The Magpies rejected a bid of around £11million from Arsenal over the summer.

Roma are looking to strengthen in January, but it remains to be seen whether Cabaye would be interested in leaving the Premier League for Serie A.

Reports claim Roma are prepared to make a bid of around €15million for the former Paris St-Germain and Manchester United target.
