Newcastle eyeing Kruse bid

Newcastle United are readying a £9m January move for Germany international Max Kruse, according to the Mirror.

With Siem De Jong still out injured and fellow new arrival Emmanuel Riviere failing to make an impact since arriving at St James Park, manager Alan Pardew is keen to strengthen his squad as he looks to continue their recent run of form.

Kruse has scored five goals in ten league appearances for Borussia Monchengladbach so far this season, earning a recall to Joachim Low’s Germany side.

He has been capped ten times for his country, but hasn’t scored since his second appearance – a 4-3 friendly defeat to the United States in June 2013.

Newcastle currently find themselves in fifth place in the Premier League after a run which has seen them their last six games in all competitions, conceding just one goal in the process, and they can now be backed at 12/1 to finish in the top six.
