10 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Florian Thauvin

3. He Is Three Years Younger Than Remy Cabella

At 22-years-old, Thauvin represents an exceptional young talent and will have the chance to experience the Barclays Premier League from a young age. His education will be priceless and it could mean that Newcastle will develop a player who will suit the English game more than their £12 million signing from Montpellier did. United's (potentially) new Frenchman has shown a strong maturity through his national development and although he has been said to have a few attitude problems he will hopefully become an experienced figure and ring-leader at St James' Park.
