Durham appoint Kirk as new head coach

Newcastle target Manzambi to wait until post-World Cup to decide on future

Latest from Your Site News' Keith Downie:

Newcastle target Johan Manzambi is expected to wait until Switzerland's World Cup is over to decide his future. 

Your Site News exclusively revealed Newcastle's interest in the Freiburg midfielder. They remain keen on the player - but face plenty of competition for his signature.  

Switzerland face Colombia in the World Cup last 16 on Tuesday and, until they are out, the 20-year-old is keeping his full focus on the tournament.

Reports from Swiss outlet Blick claim Manzambi is set to miss the Colombia game after picking up a knee injury in training.

It was confirmed in Switzerland's pre-match press conference that Maznambi was one of three players to leave training early, but the reports suggests it is not a serious injury.

Manzambi has been one of the breakout stars at the World Cup, becoming the youngest player to reach five goal involvements (three goals and two assists) at the tournament since records began.

Lazetic closing in on Aberdeen exit

Latest from Your Site News' Anthony Joseph:

FC Noah are closing in on the signing of Aberdeen striker Marko Lazetic.

It is understood the clubs are ironing out the final details of the deal for the 22-year-old.

Lazetic expressed his desire to leave this summer. 

He signed for the Dons only last summer on a free transfer from AC Milan, with a sell-on clause of up to 50 per cent.
