Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew insists he will taking full advantage of the international break by scouring Europe for potential transfer targets.

Pardew has previously stressed his desire to improve his current squad and the 49 is expected to be given the funds to bring in new recruits.

Newcastle have found themselves dragged into a Premier League relegation battle after a recent dip in form. 

With a crucial game against fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers next week, Pardew admits he will be keeping an eye on the internationals as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Stoke City.

“I will be watching, because there’s one or two who could feature against us, like Matt Jarvis of Wolves,” he told the club’s official website.

“It will be interesting to see how that fixture unfolds.

“But there will be a lot of fixtures this weekend that I will have my eye on because there’s one or two players we need to view as well.

“So our scouts are out and about all over Europe this weekend, checking on players we hope will have some significance here.”
