Bordeaux President confirms Yanga-Mbiwa interest

Bordeaux President Jean Louis Tiraud has confirmed his interest in Newcastle United central defender Mapou Yanga Mbiwa in a press conference where new manager Willy Sagnol was unveiled. 

He had the following to say: “He is an excellent player with one defect, he was bought very expensively by Newcastle and his salary is high. The problem with the idea of a loan, is most clubs wait until the 31st August, because they are still trying to sell the player.”
