Newcastle United target £6m Serb midfielder

Newcastle United are preparing to swoop for Groningen midfielder Dusan Tadic, according to reports.

The Magpies may face stiff competition from Lazio for the Serbian international, who put in a string of impressive performances in the Eredivisie last season.

Dutch magazine Voetball understands that the 23-year-old could cost somewhere in the region of £6m.

Tadic, whose contract runs out at the end of next season, arrived at the Dutch side from Vojvodina in 2010.
