Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-mbiwa is said to have left France for Tyneside ahead of a medical due to take place tomorrow after a fee was agreed between the two clubs. Last week his agent denied there was interest from Bayern Munich, when a scout from the German side turned up at a recent game. However, rumour has it he is due to sign a 4.5 year deal at Newcastle United.
The 22 year old who has picked up 24 yellow cards and 3 reds in his career at Montpellier, and scored 5 goals, was quoted by Sky Sports at the beginning of the year talking about interest from other clubs, he said;
"I am flattered by the interest from the French champions, but there is no agreement between the clubs, so I am still here with Montpellier.
Newcastle are interested? Well it means my performances have crossed the country. My dream league has always been the Premier League, so you never know.
But for me if Montpellier have to agree a fee with a team, then who knows? But I would love to play one day in England."

We were linked to him early on, and I was reservedly excited. If he's in for a medical, I'm 100% behind this one.
I'm seeing different reports on his contract status but it seems like he has 18 months left at most. Fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed, & hoping he's as good as he looks on paper.
I hope he has got a hypen, wor Yanga is a lot easier to manage.
I really do like the way we keep our main targets under the radar right until the last minute.
Hope we get this chap - another frenchman to the ranks

I'll be fairly pleased if we don't sell anyone essential.
