Newcastle willing to break the bank for Moussa Diaby

Newcastle want to continue their investment in the market for young, promising players who can make an instant impact. The next target is Bayer Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby.

According to the 'Daily Telegraph', the Magpies are ready to offer around 50 million euros for the 22-year-old French striker, who has been outstanding this season scporing 17 goals and providing 14 assists in 42 games.

Diaby's importance in Germany has been such that several European giants are interested in signing him, but few have the financial potential that Newcastle now have following the arrival of new owners.

Newcastle's objective is to reach European competition next season, after avoiding relegation in the current season with an excellent second half of the season. And Moussa Diaby could be the icing on the cake for the English project.
