Newcastle United have completed the signing of French winger Florian Thauvin from Olympique Marseille.
The 22-year-old signed a five-year contract with the Magpies on Wednesday in a deal which saw Remy Cabella move the opposite direction on loan.

“He is a perfect signing, someone who is young, with great potential and is one of the best young players in Europe.
“He is an exciting, creative talent who can score goals.”
