Remy: Important Newcastle French players speak English

Loic Remy says it's important Newcastle United's French contingent learn English.

It's like home from home for the striker with Newcastle boasting a whopping 14 French speakers, and Remy reckons that French connection is a big help.

"It has certainly helped me," he said. "In terms of adaptation it has helped, but I have to speak English.

"I am learning English and I am trying to do my best, but it is not easy. It's good that we have so many French players.

"I know a lot of them because we are in the national team ­together. The squad is very good, we have a good feeling."
