Newcastle United transfer target Florian Thauvin is scheduled to fly to Tyneside tomorrow – according to reports in France.

A €17million deal is said to be on the table with Remy Cabella heading in the other direction on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

If talks go well with Thauvin the player could complete a medical and become the club’s fifth summer signing. A six-year contract is thought to be up for grabs for Thauvin worth an estimated €3million.

Cabella has appeared 31 times for United but has been injured this summer and his efforts to impress Steve McClaren have been hampered by injury. Now he looks set to leave Newcastle, if French reports are correct.

Forward Thauvin, who has appeared for the France under-21 side, is a long-term target of Newcastle and has been linked with the club throughout the close season.
