Morocco's Abdessadki likely to join Newcastle

Moroccan international midfielder, Yacine Abdessadki is likely to join the English Premier League side Newcastle next season, according to French first division team, RC Strasbourg.

The 24-year-old player has been in impressive form this season with six goals in 30 appearances.

Abdessadki is tied to the Alsace squad until the end of the season and he admitted he is now set to make his way out of La Meinau when the term comes to an end.

Strasbourg's hopes of keeping Abdessadki ended when he rejected a new deal in favour of a move to a bigger European club.

"I just know that I will not be in Strasbourg next season. I think I can still improve, so I will choose an ambitious club," he said.

"I have had contact with French and foreign clubs and I want to live the European Cup adventure," he noted.
