Former Newcastle United and Marseille winger Chris Waddle believes the French contingent already on Tyneside can help the Magpies’ latest signing Florian Thauvin “settle in” quickly.
Thauvin completed his £14 million move from Marseille on Wednesday – with Remy Cabella heading in the opposite direction on a one-year loan that will likely turn into a permanent deal – and the French winger has signed a five-year contract with the Magpies.
And, although Waddle fears that Thauvin will struggle to get used to the dramatic weather conditions in the North East of England, he believes the likes of Moussa Sissoko and Yoan Gouffran can help the Frenchman to comes to terms with life in Newcastle.
