French football journalist Jibril Diop has given insight into Lille forward Mathias Fernandez-Pardo who Newcastle are closing in on a deal for. "They're getting a player who's obviously very young, 21-years-old," Diop told BBC Radio Newcastle. "His best attribute is probably one-on-one dribbling and yes, he's very technically gifted as well and obviously, he can improve and become the world beater that Newcastle expect him to be at some point."
