Newcastle Transfers: 10 Greatest Modern Foreign Imports

5. Yohan Cabaye

Yohan Cabaye is just one of many Frenchmen to join Pardew's Tyneside contingency, and signed for a reported £4.3 Million, Cabaye looks to be one of the greatest foreign signings for the Toon in recent times. The fully capped French international made a blistering start to his career in England, netting five goals in all competitions, including a 30-yard freekick against Manchester United. He was another influential player in the 11/12 season that saw Newcastle narrowly miss out on the UEFA Champions League spot, contributing with nine assists. With an injury plagued start to this season, and with Newcastle languishing in the bottom half of the table, you can see what an important figurehead he has become to the Geordie faithful and how much they miss him.
