Newcastle set to sign Mathieu Debuchy from Lille
Last updated on .From the section Football

Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign defender Mathieu Debuchy from Lille, according to the Press Association.
The Magpies were linked with the French international right-back, 27, during the summer following his performances at Euro 2012.
The fee is believed to be in the region of £5m and the move is set to be completed once the January transfer window opens.
Newcastle signed midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Lille in June 2011.
Debuchy played in all four of his country's games at Euro 2012 and has 13 senior caps.
Danny Simpson, 25, currently plays at right-back for Newcastle, so Debuchy's signing could put his future on Tyneside in doubt as his contract expires in the summer and he has yet to agree a new deal.

French Orange Ligue 1?
I'd never heard of him either until the last few months, to be fair though I'd never heard of Yohan Cayabe or Ben Arfa and they've done alright for us - hopefully he'll help turn our season around.
Think you've too much quality to go down having seen some of the others.
I think most NUFC fans would agree that our midfield is for the most part decent and our attack is very dangerous when on form, so what we need is a starting CB and more bodies to fill out the squad.
I honestly think that if we had a bigger squad of the same quality, we would have dealt with the busier schedule this seaosn much better.
