Newcastle United have reportedly agreed a fee for Lille’s French right-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Debuchy-c24682, which is believed to be in the region of £7 million.
Various reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 state that Debuchy is set to complete a move to the Sports Direct Arena after Newcastle and Lille agreed to a £7 million transfer fee.
Debuchy has been on Newcastle’s radar for quite some time. The French full-back impressed many with his performances for Lille in the last two seasons. 
Following Bacary Sagna’s injury, Debuchy started all of France’s games in last month’s Euro 2012 Championship in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983. The player proved that he is quite capable of rising to the occasion and had a very impressive campaign in the tournament.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew had always been interested in the player, and made his interest noticeable right after France’s exit from the tournament.
Pardew has apparently made a significant breakthrough today as he closes in on the right-back.
The Magpies had been on Debuchy’s trail for a while now, but had been unable to reach any sort of conclusion with Lille regarding his transfer. With more reports linking the player to Newcastle, it was only a matter of time till a deal was to be agreed.
Debuchy is set to become Pardew’s third but most significant summer signing to date with French midfielder Romain Amalfitano being the first player to arrive earlier this month.
Coventry’s highly rate midfielder Gael Bigirimana was the second player to have joined the Magpies. The former Championship player is compared to Chelsea’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294 by many and regarded as a special young talent.
Newcastle are clearly looking to build on last season’s success by buying new players and holding on to old ones. With players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884 already at the club, Pardew has added more steel and edge
to his side with these new signings.
Newcastle United have flown out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 for their pre-season campaign and Pardew will be hopeful to conduct all transfer dealings upon the team’s return. Debuchy’s transfer is expected to be completed this month.
