Newcastle confirm Cabaye move

Newcastle United have confirmed that midfielder Yohan Cabaye has joined Paris St Germain for an undisclosed fee.

The Magpies released the following statement:

Yohan leaves the club after two-and-a-half seasons at St. James' Park.Newcastle United have benefitted significantly from Yohan's talents since his arrival from Lille in the summer of 2011, and the player has likewise benefitted, developing hugely during his time on Tyneside.The Club wanted to keep him but the lure of Champions League football and the prospect of being involved in the sporting project at PSG was an opportunity that Yohan made very clear to us he wanted to take.

Yohan leaves the Club with our best wishes for his future at PSG and, hopefully, as part of the French national squad for this summer's World Cup.
