Sylvain reflects on his move to Newcastle United and spoke to nufc.co.uk:

"This is a dream move for me and I'm very happy to be joining such a great club. As soon as I signed I couldn't wait to phone my parents in France and tell them the news. I've already sent them both Newcastle shirts!"

"Newcastle United are one of the most well-known clubs in France and have a great tradition. I saw quite a few of the games last season and thought the team did very well in their first season back in the Premier League."

Sylvain will find comfort along fellow french players like Ben Arfa and Cabaye, and will gel with tiote who played in the french league too.

"It's good for me that there are other French players here, players like Ben Arfa and Cabaye who I know, but it's a very good squad they have too."

The player was taken around the club and was very impressed with the stadium. The player told nufc.co.uk:

"I saw the stadium and thought it was magnificent. It must be a fantastic place to play and I can't wait. Of course I have heard all about the massive support at Newcastle and the passion of the fans here.

"The people at the club made me feel so welcome on Friday night when I arrived. They looked after me so well, made me feel part of the club straight away, and I thank them for that."
