Newcastle hero Bernard: Cabaye will return to Premier League in January

Former Newcastle United star Olivier Bernard feels PSG midfielder Yohan Cabaye will seek a return to the Premier League.

The France international left the Magpies in January but has struggled to cement a regular starting spot with the Ligue 1 giants.

"Yohan did not join PSG with any guarantees that he would be starting games and the problem for him is that when he has been playing or starting, he's been struggling to really make the sort of impact that he made with Newcastle," wrote Bernard in his column for the Evening Chronicle.

"He will be back in England in January, absolutely no doubt," he continued. "He will come back to the Premier League and he will already be looking for a club to join that will get him the games that he needs to guarantee him a place in the France squad."

"Will that be with Newcastle? Well you can never rule anything out in football, but they will be very lucky to get him in January. If they do it will probably mean that there isn't an offer from one of the clubs that is playing in the Champions League."
