Magpies face fight to sign Emre

Newcastle may face competition from five other Barclays Premiership clubs as they attempt to prise midfielder Emre Belozoglu away from Inter Milan.

The Magpies have registered their interest in the 24-year-old Turkey midfielder and are understood to have travelled to Monaco to talk to the player and his agent Ahmet Bulut after tabling a £4m (€6m) bid.
