Panathinaikos are eyeing Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons.

The Evening Chronicle says despite the fact that the Magpies still don't know who will be manager on July 1, the club are starting to field enquiries for some of their squad players.

And 23-year-old Aarons is wanted as a possible loan option for ex-Newcastle defender Nikos Dabizas who is the club's technical director.

Dabizas travelled to England to look to set up fresh links with the Magpies.

Panathinaikos are currently struggling financially so they can only afford a small portion of Aarons' wage packet.

But a deal could still be considered with former Blackburn Rovers player Giorgos Donis keen to work with the Toon player according to sources in Greece.

Panathinaikos are also in talks to sign former attacker Cal Roberts who is available on a free transfer, however, he is also attracting interest from a clutch of League One clubs.
