Newcastle fans are curious to see where Florian Lejeune fits into Rafa Benitez’s Premier League master plan.
The Eibar defender is close to completing a £9m to St James’ Park with the move seemingly going to plan.
Benitez has hardly had a days rest since clinching promotion back to the Premier League with experience essential in every signing.
Wonder what Rafa see in Florian Lejeune I’ve never seen him play but since 2013 he’s moved club every season…. #NUFC

Florian Lejeune getting closer to #NUFC
What is this? Some interstellar thing? In a movie, they would never meet.

Sporting fans said he is rash reckless & plays the ball out the back way too much!! Rafa made a bid but chose Florian Lejeune from Eibar
