Newcastle midfielder Henri Saivet is expected to finalise his loan move to French side Saint-Etienne by the end of the week, according to France Football magazine.

The 25 year old was signed from Bordeaux for £5million only back in January on a 5 year contract, and managed just four appearances for the Magpies. He has not had any first team action since the arrival of Rafa Benitez as manager but it looks certain he will be returning to France after just six months on Tyneside.

France Football are reporting that the initial season long loan could include a purchase option which would allow Saint Etienne to buy the player at the end of the current campaign. It is not known how much Newcastle and Saint-Etienne have agreed will be paid to make the deal permanent but it is likely to be substantially less than what the Magpies paid Bordeaux in the January transfer window.
