NEWCASTLE United are preparing a £4m bid for Swiss international Gokhan Inler, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The 24-year-old Udinese midfielder is said to have impressed Magpies boss Kevin Keegan during this summer's Euro 2008.

The same paper claims that the Geordies are also keeping a close eye on Rosenborg star Per Ciljan Skjelbred.

The 21-year-old Norway defender is also linked with a switch to Tyneside in The Northern Echo and The Journal.
