Newcastle Transfers: 10 Signs Remy Cabella Is Perfect Cabaye Replacement

9. 81 Chances

Otherwise Known As: How many chances Remy Cabella made for his Montpellier team-mates last season in total. Newcastle's most prolific chance creator last season - to the surprise of some who criticised the decision to push him out wide to right-midfield - was Moussa Sissoko, and by some distance. Finishing with a very impressive 77 chances created - making him the fifth ranked creator in the Premier League last season, and within touching distance of winner Eden Hazard, his value to the team was under-estimated and can not be over-stated. So the fact that Cabella managed to create 81 chances for Montpellier last terms looks even more impressive, and key to Alan Pardew's agenda to increase the number of chances and conversions in his side this season. He was the grand puppet-master at Montpellier last term, and the idea of someone topping Sissoko in the running and also weighing in with double figure goals should be an extremely exciting one for Newcastle fans.
