Newcastle United have added competition for Dutch centre-back Sven Botman after French reports suggest that Paris St-Germain have entered the race to win his signature.
The Magpies have their bid at the ready for Botman who wants his future sorted before heading away on holiday at the end of the week. Newcastle have been trying to take advantage of AC Milan's takeover certainty by insisting to Botman's agent they are ready to do business now.
A report in L'Equipe in France says that PSG are also prepared to pay a €40million asking price for Botman. Although, for the second time in 48 hours, the Dutchman's agent insisted that nobody has moved ahead in the battle to sign the highly-rated Lille star.
