Talks over a new contract between Heerenveen and Alfred Finnbogason have hit a brick wall, something which is sure to be music to the ears of English Premier League outfit Newcastle.
The Magpies are keen on the 24-year-old Iceland international and have been mooted as preparing a move for the player when the transfer re-opens in January.
Heerenveen want to keep Finnbogason though and have held talks over extending his contract, which still has two years left to run.
But according to Voetbal International, those talks have broken down, which is sure to be interesting to Newcastle.
