Montpellier president Louis Nicollin believes that Remy Cabella has made a surprising decision in choosing to join Newcastle United.

Cabella completed his switch to St. James' Park from the Stade de la Mosson at the weekend, securing a dream move to the English Premier League.



Nicollin though is surprised that the attacking midfielder decided to join Newcastle, explaining from a personal point of view it is a move he would not make.

"He wanted to go. I wasn't happy, but I told him, 'Congratulations'", Nicollin told Foot Mercato.
 


"In England, there is Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, which are above Newcastle, but Newcastle is a club with a lot of French [players]. He likes them, so great.

"Personally, I would not go to Newcastle. But hey, I'll see him when he plays against a club in London!

Nicollin though believes that Cabella has every chance of making the grade in the Premier League.

"He has what he wants, fine, we'll see. But in any case, he has the ability to succeed in England, that's for sure.

"He is frail, but he's hard to catch."

Cabella was included in Didier Deschamps' France World Cup squad for this summer.
