... Newcastle are considering a summer move for AS Monaco star Emmanuel Riviere as the Frenchman looks to be deemed surplus to requirements in the coming season.
He signed for Monaco from Toulouse in January 2013, first helping the club gain promotion to Ligue 1 last campaign and featuring in 25 of their 32 league matches this season.
However, with ambitious owner Dmitry Rybolovlev looking to bring a host of big names at the end of the season, Riviere is thought to be one of those who will part ways with Monaco.
The 24-year-old should cost around £10million.
