10 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Aymen Abdennour

5. He Is Recognised For His Fighting On The Pitch

Could Newcastle United really get by with Aleksandar Mitrovic and another bonafide hot head in Abdennour in their side? Watch the clip below and judge for yourselves... Although, maybe his reputation is a little bit harsh as he has only been shown 28 yellows and one red during his entire career - Cheick Tiote, in comparison, sees that amount in six games... Aymen appears to be one of those sly defenders that is always trying to wind his opponents up, while never shirking from a fight or two during a game. Even Zlatan Ibrahimovi‡ isn't exempt from a spot of harsh treatment... Aymen is scared of absolutely no one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVpxRHVOEco
