Kinnear targets double deal

Friday 21 Nov 2008

Newcastle United's interim boss Joe Kinnear has hinted that he would like to bring two new players to St James' Park in the January transfer window, if he is still at the club.

Kinnear remains unsure how long he will be allowed to remain in charge of the Magpies as the club's ownership remains at the centre of much intrigue.

However, AS Roma defender John Arne Riise and Arsenal midfielder Denilson would appear to be at the top of Kinnear's wanted list though, as he said: "I have already got my shortlist ready and I will be giving it to Mike Ashley.

"We need two players in as soon as possible, and I have them in mind.

"One is with Roma and he is not in the team at the moment. The other is a player who has already scored against us this season.

"I know their agents and what they would be is loan deals from January until the end of the season. I already know the player in Rome would cost us £2million to bring over here.

"We need to strengthen the team and the squad and, if we can get them, they would be a big boost because both are top-class players."
