Kanoute keen on Newcastle move

Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce is preparing for the possible exit of Michael Owen by lining up a move for Sevilla striker Fredi Kanoute.
                         

      Owen has been linked with a &;pound;9million summer move away from St James' Park, despite only joining the Magpies for &;pound;16million in August 2005.
Kanoute moved to Seville from Tottenham for &;pound;4.4million in August 2005 and has been a revelation - the Spanish outfit claiming back-to-back UEFA Cup wins and pushing for the title this season during his short time at the club.
Indeed the 29-year-old's agent told the News of the World: "It's true Newcastle are interested. There's no concrete offer yet but Fredi is interested."
