Cabaye To Replace Modric In January?

Last updated : 06 November 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

He has played down a report saying he could return to St James' Park, but has not ruled out a move to Tottenham.

Yohan Cabaye has revealed that Tottenham tried to sign him once before.

Cabaye to replace Modric ... eventually?

Yohan Cabaye: “The offer from Tottenham was to replace Modric.

“If I had wanted to leave Newcastle at that time I would have.

"I was not meant to leave at that time, but Tottenham is a very big club with a lot of history.

“For me the Premier League is the best league in the world, you have to work twice as hard and we know about the high tempo in every match.

“This is what attracted me and I developed physically.”

Cabaye is likely to be available in January but he WON'T be returning to Tyneside.

Cabaye moved to Paris Saint German at the start of the year, after going on strike at Newcastle and refusing to play in three games.

But the star of St James'Park has failed to make the same impact in the French capital.

Cabaye has started only 15 league games games in ten months and was replaced against Lorient on Saturday after another poor performance.

The French club have suggested he will be loaned out in January, and Cabaye has made it known he misses the Premier League.

As well as Spurs, he will attract the attention of Liverpool and Arsenal, who both tried to sign him last year.

He wanted to get away from Newcastle and it was messy the way he conducted business with PSG.

Suggesting he won't be returning to the English game wearing black and white.

Former PSG player Christophe Jallet told the French press this week: “You must be an assured character to succeed at PSG. Yohan has it but doesn’t show it enough every day.”

Which is strange in itself, considering the English league is widely regarded as the toughest in Europe ... certainly a higher quality than in France.

If PSG do sell him, they can expect getting considerably less than the £20million they paid for him in January.
