Newcastle United are set to offload flop Remy Cabella to Marseille according to reports from the Chronicle.

Cabella endured a difficult campaign at Newcastle last term and was shipped out on loan to Marseille over the summer.

It is believed that the Magpies are set to complete the permanent departure of Cabella for a fee of around £5.8million in the coming days.

In other Toon transfer news, Newcastle remain keen on Marseille ace Michy Batshuayi but would have to part with around £21m if they are to lure the Belgian striker to St James' Park.
