NEWCASTLE last night agreed a £5.5million deal for Lassana Diarra — just hours after sacking Sam Allardyce.
Now Toon chairman Chris Mort hopes to persuade the French international to sign a four-year contract worth £35,000-a-week.
Midfielder Diarra, 22, is still not sure whether to move to St JamesÂ’ Park and wants to see if Tottenham will match the offer.
But Arsenal will not lower their price for a player who cost them £2.5m from Chelsea last August.
Diarra wants to leave the Gunners as he has started just four league games this season.
He was left out of ArsenalÂ’s Carling Cup semi-final squad last night while negotiations continued and would be eligible for ToonÂ’s FA Cup replay against Stoke next Wednesday. -
Wah this Diarra a lot of clubs want him... But i must say he is quite a good player already and still very young... Lots of potential, Should be a good player in another yr or two time... The next Patrick Vieira i guess...
And i feel he is better than that $16m pound John Mikel Obi... But strange, how come their price difference is so far apart...

Life is so strange sometimes... He left Chelsea because he did not get enough games but had he not left Chelsea, i guess this season he would be playing more than the few games he had with Arsenal now...
The grass isn't greener on the other side i guess... -
