It is obvious that Premier League became The Promised Land for French players. Football academies that have been built by French FA in the early 90’s became real talent farms. A lot of excellent players earned some experience by playing in French Ligue 1 and after a season or two flew over The English Channel to fight with the best players in the World.
Newcastle, with all their problems and failures in a last couple of years, decided for the same old recipe. Any moment it will be announced that Albin Ebondo signed for The Magpies, while Rod Fanni could be another name on the list of their signings; even at least half of the Premier league clubs are interested in Rennes footballer. Another name that could easily end up at St James Park is Stephan Mbia.
