Feyenoord's technical director Rob Baan has indicated to Newcastle United that they are prepared to do business with the Premiership outfit regarding the potential sale of Brett Emerton.

The Australian international star is a target of several Premiership clubs including Liverpool but the Toon Army have now registered a 'formal' interest.

Baan has also spoken to Liverpool about a possible sale to the Reds. We expect to have a full update regarding the outcome of those talks in Monday's Insider update.

Newcastle have denied that they are on the verge of signing Emerton but they are about to complete the signing of Nottingham Forest's super kid, Jermaine Jenas who the Reds have watched numerous times.

The England Under 19 skipper is currently in Newcastle ironing out personal terms. Jenas was Bobby Robson's number two target, Emerton remains his top target for next season.
