Montpellier's Cabella set for Newcastle move

Newcastle have been chasing Cabella throughout the January transfer window and while they have seemingly got their man, Nicollin has indicated the 23-year-old attacking midfielder will not leave Montpellier until the end of the season.

"We have an agreement with the leaders of Newcastle that I will not reveal," Nicollin told Midi Libre.

"But it does not include a departure for Remy before June, it is a certainty."

If Cabella moves to St James' Park, he will become the 10th French player in Alan Pardew's Newcastle squad.
