The 25-year-old has not started a league game for nearly 18-months, after failing to show he is Premiership quality.
And just when we thought he had disappeared off the radar, the bugger is back!
He even had the Newcastle fans chanting his name against Schalke on Sunday, although it was all tongue in cheek ... they were also singing "We're gona win the league!"
Alan Pardew: "I was really pleased with our fans. It was nice to hear them singing Obertan’s name.
"He is another player that has worked hard this summer and you can see that.
"If he can take that into the season that will be a bonus for us because he’s been troubled with injuries.
"He was very good."
