Chief Scout Charlie Woods has been in Scandanavia this week casting his eye over a number of players. The story is on IC Newc.

Exert here suggests something will come of the trip, "The word from St James's Park last night was that Woods had planned his latest trip abroad some time ago and his presence in Norway did not necessarily mean a Scandinavian signing was imminent.

However, the former Tottenham talent-spotter is usually the last man to watch a player before Robson decides to make an offer, and sources close to Brann are convinced a Magpies' bid is about to be lodged. "

They also comment that Woods has been present with agent Rene Hauge of George Graham cash fame. So perhaps a deal is in the offing.
