CONFIRMED: Florian Thauvin saga over as Arsenal and Newcastle target joins Marseille
ARSENAL and Newcastle have missed out on Florian Thauvin with Marseille laying out £12.7m for his services.
The winger had attracted strong interest from both Premier League clubs but he snubbed their advances to remain in France.
Thauvin's behaviour came under scrutiny after going on strike and refusing to turn up for training.
The coveted 20-year-old went on strike last week after trying to force through a move away from the French outfit.
Other reports in France suggest that Marseille's £10m-rated midfielder Andre Ayew expected to stay.
