NANCY, France (AFP) – English Premier League strugglers Newcastle have agreed a deal with Nancy for 20-year-old defender Massadio Haidara, the French top flight outfit said on their website Tuesday.
Nancy said agreement had been reached on a four-million euro deal for a player who has made 46 appearances for Nancy since a December 2010 debut against Sochaux.
