Maiga demands Newcastle move

Modibo Maiga is refusing to play for Sochaux in order to force through a move to Newcastle United.

Newcastle have made a bid for the Malian international, which is understood to be in the region of €8million (£7million).

However, Sochaux are refusing to do business, which has angered the 23-year-old and he refused to play in the weekend's defeat to Caen.

Maiga has now told Sochaux that he does not want to play for them again and wants to join Newcastle.

He has been offered a new contract by Sochaux, but that only happened after Newcastle made their move.

"Yes [they have made me an offer], but before the Newcastle offer I have not been offered anything, but now I would like the chairman to consider my interest. I want to leave.

"I met everyone at Newcastle. They want me and it is not just any club. Premier League is a dream.

"That is the kind of game I like, it suits me and it is good for my career. I want to leave, he has to accept that and negotiate.

"I told the coach I would play and respect my contract, but the chairman has to talk about my transfer first. I don't want to annoy Sochaux, but I want it to be sorted out with Newcastle."
