from @SkyGraemeBailey Graeme Bailey twitter One of the first signings of the summer will be confirmed today I will stop teasing, it is one of the North East clubs - not a major shock! But a good one.
Newcastle have signed French midfielder Romain Amalfitano. The 22-year-old will arrive on a free transfer after his contract with Stade de Reims expired. Amalfitano, who helped the French club win promotion to Ligue 1, joins compatriots Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa at the Sports Direct Arena. Love it.......
Romain Amalfitano isnt that bad a player if i remember correctly, far better than gutierrez as far as skill and pace are concerned I think not fully sure on his entire game though
I would imagine you are getting mixed up with his brother Morgan who is indeed a good player and who plays for Marseille, you will of seen this lad if you watch Ligue 2
Hope he turns out to be another Carr gem! Low risk as well, probably a good player to boost our reserves to begin with.
