Newcastle match Fulhams Ruiz offer.

Sky Sports sources understand that Newcastle have matched Fulham's offer for FC Twente forward Bryan Ruiz.

The Cottagers saw a bid accepted on Tuesday night, with the offer believed to be in the region of £10.6million.

Twente were then reported in the Dutch press to have resigned themselves to the fact that the Costa Rican was on his way to Craven Cottage.

There has, however, been a late twist on deadline day, with Newcastle entering the chase.

It is understood that the Magpies have turned their attention to Ruiz after missing out on a number of other attacking targets.

They have put an offer on the table and are believed to have a helicopter on standby ready to rush Ruiz to Tyneside should he wish to discuss terms.
