Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has made it clear he expects to sign a replacement for Yohan Cabaye.

Toon have accepted a £23million bid from PSG for France midfielder Cabaye.

Newcastle will now step up their pursuit of Montpellier's Remy Cabella, who is seen by Pardew as an ideal replacement for Cabaye.

He said: 'I'd be foolish if I didn't have a plan to deal with him going. You can't lose a player of that quality and not replace him."
