Newcastle United<\/a> are set to sign Mehdi Abeid from Lens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old defensive midfielder is near to joining St James\u2019 Park on a five-year deal, having rejected interest from fellow Ligue 1 side Rennes, as well as Everton and Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

“After eight fantastic years at Lens, I have stagnated. I needed a change of air. I am not afraid to leave for abroad,” Abeid told L’Equipe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I have had contact dating back some time and I visited the facilities there St James’s Park last week. I even trained with the reserve team.<\/p>\n

“The leaders of the club told me about their plans and that they will rely on me for next season. For my part, I intend to give everything to develop in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n

The youngster revealed his decision was influenced by two key players in Newcastle’s squad, one of whom formerly played in the French top flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already discussed things with Hatem Ben Arfa and Cheick Tiote and they encouraged me and welcomed my signature.”
