Newcastle have announced the free signing of former Rennes winger Sylvain Marveaux on a five-year-deal.

Marveaux looked to be certain to join Liverpool earlier in the week but the deal stalled after the Anfield outfit claimed that he failed a medical due to reported concerns over his groin.

However, the midfielder denied he was unfit, claiming that he was 'disgusted' with the reports stating so and Newcastle moved quickly to sign the Frenchman who made his debut for Rennes as a 15-year-old.
Pardew has already signed Yohan Cabaye and Demba Ba and is delighted with his latest capture.

“It's a great coup to have signed Sylvain, who has received interest from a number of other clubs,” Pardew told the club's official site.
“He may not be well known to many of our fans but he is a real talent and a player we have been keeping an eye on for some time. It's been a good couple of days for us on the transfer front."

25-year-old Marveaux is a former French under-21 international and made over 100 appearances during his time with Rennes, scoring 16 goals.
