After failure with Luka Modric`s transfer, Newcastle turned to another Croatia international, HSV attacker Ivica Olic.

Croatia international Ivica Olic is targeted by English Newcastle FC, football365 web site writes.

After failure with Luka Modric`s transfer, Kevin Keegan has found a new target from the list of potential players who will represent Croatia in the European Championship.

Clearly, Newcastle want to reinforce their team for the next season and the struggle for sports that lead to European championships. Modric was Keegan`s big wish, but Tottenham FC was more decisive, which angered Keegan.

He promptly reacted and showed interest in the HSV attacker, but as we have already had the chance to seem, just interest is not enough. One needs to reach deep into the money bag and the fact Olic`s contract with the German club expires next year favours him, because Olic will leave HSV without compensation charges.
