Brett Emerton could arrive at St James' Park for less than £2 million. Newcastle United are confident that Feyenoord will ovver the Australian winger to them for a knockdown price to save them loosing him form nothing. With just 12 months left on his contract, Australian winger, Brett Emerton could arrive at St James' Park for less than £2 million.

Tribalfootball reported that Newcastle are convinced Feyenoord will offer them the winger for a knockdown fee either later in the summer or in January. This would be so that they don't loose him for nothing.

A St James's Park insider told the Sunday Sun: "Our chairman hasn't spoken to Feyenoord since he went to Rotterdam just after the end of the season and told them how much he was willing to pay.

"It looks like they still want £4 million for him but the chairman reckons he won't end up paying even half that figure because Feyenoord will be so desperate to cash in, whether it's this summer or in the New Year."
