Townsend becomes latest Newcastle signing
Marseille could activate £6m Cabella clause
Marseille are ready to seal a permanent deal to end Remy Cabella's difficult spell at Newcastle, according to reports.
The 25-year-old joined the French club in August on a season-long loan after struggling to produce consistent performances.
But having returned to France the winger has flourished at Marseille with 18 Ligue 1 starts to his name this season so far.
A £24m transfer deadline day bid for the England Under-21 international was turned down by West Brom but McClaren was nevertheless pleased with his January dealings.
"I think that [getting Berahino] would have been a bonus," McClaren said.
"It shows the ambition of the club.
“We’ve made four very good signings."
