The French youngster is happy at Newcastle, unlike some of his team-mates. Jean-Alain Boumsong, Lee Bowyer and Emre are three who seem destined to get out of Toon this summer.
But Toon chairman Freddy Shepherd told the Newcastle Evening Chronicle that he sees a great future in the French youngster.
Shepherd: "We could not rate Charles any higher than we do, and regardless of anything else it was always our intention to tie him down to a longer and improved contract."
