Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew targets Norway midfielder Jo Inge Berget

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew is thought to be looking at Norwegian international midfielder Jo Inge Berget as an addition to his squad.

Berget has impressed scouts at Newcastle with a string of impressive performances for Molde and could be subject to a January move to the Premier League, according to The Sun.

The 22-year-old signed for Udinese as a teenager but never made an appearance for the Italian giants.

Berget claimed his maiden cap for Norway earlier this year, and could cost Pardew a fee in the region of £2m if he chooses to bolster his options in the New Year.
