​Newcastle United midfielder, Florian Thauvin, currently on loan to Ligue 1 side Marseille continued to show Geordie fans what they are missing with an inspired goal in Les Olympiens' 1-0 victory over Nancy on Sunday evening.





The former French U21 international joined the Magpies in 2015 from Marseille for a fee of around £15m, but was largely underwhelming in his only season with the club, which culminated in relegation to the Championship.

However back in familiar settings, Thauvin has gone from strength to strength, and scored a top draw goal, sidestepping his marker to unleash and angling drive into the top corner, which proved to be the winner.

​​The player already has four goals and an assist to his name this season, and should he impress further, Newcastle fans may be asking Rafa Benitez to bring him back to St James' Park, particularly if the Geordies find themselves back amongst England's elite next season.
