Alan Pardew hopeful on Bafetimbi Gomis, Loic Remy, Darren Bent deals

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has not given up in his pursuit of Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis.

The Magpies failed with a bid of £6.9m last month, but the 52-year-old remains determined to land the French international.

Pardew also confirmed his interest in Loic Remy and Darren Bent as he looks to bolster his attacking ranks ahead of the new Premier League season.

When asked about the trio, Pardew told the Shields Gazette: "They're all very much on the radar. We will pursue them until we get them."

Newcastle have yet to make a signing this summer.
