Former Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye is available for transfer.
Many Newcastle United fans would love to see Yohan Cabaye back on Tyneside.
The 33-year-old is a free agent again after being released by Al-Nasr this week and should Newcastle bring him back?
If it’s feasible, yes.
Some Magpies supporter might argue that he’s too old, but he only turned 33 on Monday and although his legs might’ve slowed down, his football brain hasn’t.
His intelligence and range of passing are non-perishable qualities that should make Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez seriously consider bringing him in.
Wages might be a problem but if the former Paris Saint-Germain star is willing to take a wage cut then why not?
Ayoze Perez isn’t half the player that Cabaye was and probably still is, and the prospect of him playing behind Salomon Rondon is exciting to say the least.
The Newcastle striker is already a very decent goalscorer but how much better could he be with someone of Cabaye’s vintage as a number 10? That isn’t his natural position, but he can play there and play very well.
That’s the question Benitez must ask himself as he plots to dig United out of relegation trouble.
