Could Be A Bargain – Lots Of Newcastle Fans Would Back Swoop For Available Ligue One Playmaker

|

Guingamp head coach Antoine Kombauore revealed at the weekend that Clement Grenier was on the verge of leaving the Ligue One club.

The 27-year-old was not included in the squad for a friendly against EAG Brest on Saturday evening with a move away from the French side said to be imminent. We were named by L’Equipe as one of the playmaker’s possible destinations.

I asked supporters whether a move for the former Lyon midfielder would be a good idea, and the vast majority think it could prove to be a bargain:

Unfortunately, it seems Grenier has already finalised a move to another club. Get French Football News are reporting that the Frenchman has agreed a switch to Rennes for a fee of €4m-€5m.

The website reports the player did hold discussions with both us and Everton, but he has agreed a €50k a week, three-year contract to stay in France.
