Italian media have today claimed Newcastle & Lazio have agreed a deal for Florian Thuavin, with a medical planned.

Newcastle United have turned down bids for both Florian Thauvin and Cheick Tiote.

Florian Thauvin will move to Lazio as soon as Antonio Candreva’s transfer is confirmed, 2m euros loan fee and permanent fee agreed according to Corriere Dello Sport.

Florian Thauvin is now even more desperate to leave Newcastle after this latest issue became known.

Florian Thauvin looks set to play for Newcastle United in the Championship as a move to Marseille breaks down due to United’s demands.

Would Newcastle fans sell the remaining five French players for the £35m figure put on Moussa Sissoko’s head, or are they worth more…votes now counted.

Sky Sports in Italy report that Florian Thauvin is the mystery player who is lined up to replace Antonio Candreva once his departure is confirmed.

Florian Thauvin talks about this past season and his future “This (Newcastle) is a legendary club in England who did not deserve to go down. I thought about my teammates and fans after relegation. This hurt too.”

Claims Florian Thauvin will refuse to come back for pre-season at Newcastle? When he wanted to leave Lille and join Marseille back in 2013, the winger stayed away from training to get the move.

Lazio follow up their initial interest in Florian Thauvin and Newcaste name their price according to reports in Italy this morning.
