Newcastle United fullback Davide Santon has no problem with the imminent arrival of Lille defender Mathieu Debuchy.
A deal for Debuchy, also a fullback, is close for Toon.
"Debuchy to Newcastle? I am calm," Santon told calciomercato.com.
"Pardew had told me that he had thought about playing me on the right, but also that another right-back would come.
"Debuchy or whoever is welcome, especially if it is a good player who can help the team. Then, we'll see who the coach decides to pick."
