Remy Cabella quotes from Telefoot:
“Newcastle is one of the great teams in England. [Yohan] Cabaye told me a lot of good things about them. I have an agreement with Montpellier in case of interesting offer. I will reflect calmly to make the right choice. I need to make the right choice for Euro 2016. I can also stay in France as Marseille is one of the big clubs interested in me”
