The Udinese enforcer is reported on be on the radar of the Tyneside club with manager Alan Pardew believed to be a huge admirer for the diminutive midfielder.
Badu struggled for first team action due to stringent laws for foreign players and the availability of other top midfielders in the club.

The ex-Asante Kotoko player has insisted he�ll stay put with the club next season and fight to break into the starting XI.
