The agent of Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena has insisted that his client will not be moving to the Premier League this month.
Christophe Hutteau was speaking after his client was linked with a move to Newcastle United during the January transfer window, revealing that Valbuena would not consider a move to the Magpies.
Hutteau told French radio station RMC: "He wouldn't go. You don't leave Marseille to go and play for Newcastle. It's just a fad. There was Arsenal, today it's Newcastle, tomorrow it'll be Liverpool or Chelsea."
Valbuena has made over 250 appearances for Marseille, while he has also represented France on 18 occasions.
