19 August 2015 18:16

Newcastle have signed Marseille winger Florian Thauvin on a five-year contract, the Barclays Premier League club have announced.

The 22-year-old Frenchman came through a medical on Wednesday and committed to the club until 2020.

As part of the deal to bring Thauvin to St James' Park, Remy Cabella heads the other way on a season-long loan, which will become a permanent move next summer.

"I am delighted to be a Newcastle United player," said Thauvin on Newcastle's website. "I have come from France to a really big club and am very happy to be here."
