Newcastle Sign Bassong
Newcastle are set to complete the signing of FC Metz defender Sebastien Bassong.
Bassong agreed personal terms at St.James’s Park last night and passed a medical earlier today to close in on the deal.
The French defender was previously on trial at Newcastle and was involved in their defeat to Doncaster. The last bit of paper work should be completed tommorrow and he should be unveiled as a Newcastle player.
