PSG are poised to launch a ­£15million swoop for Newcastle star Yohan Cabaye.

The Magpies midfielder, 27, is at the top of the mega-rich French champions’ summer shopping list following two impressive seasons in the Premier League.

And the bad news for the Toon Army is that PSG are confident of landing him – aware that the Gallic ace would jump at the chance of a big-money switch.

Although content at St James Park, Cabaye, who has three years left on his contract, reckons joining one of Europe’s elite clubs would guarantee him an integral part in France’s World Cup challenge in 12 months’ time.

And with PSG’s main priority next term the Champions League, the lure of a four-year deal worth an estimated £120,000-a-week would be irresistible.

Toon boss Alan Pardew is desperate to keep Cabaye, who also interests Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas.

But neither north London club is willing to compete with loaded PSG.An offer of around £15m is expected to force the Geordies to do business over playmaker Cabaye, who cost Newcastle just £4.5m from Lille in July 2011.

One hitch is the uncertainty surrounding PSG’s managerial position.

Real are keen to replace Chelsea-bound coach Jose Mourinho with the Paris club’s Carlo ­Ancelotti.
