Marseille have re-signed Newcastle winger Florian Thauvin on a season-long loan with "an obligation" to make the deal permanent.

The 23-year-old joined the Magpies for 拢12m from the French side last summer.

However, he made just 16 appearances before ending the season back on loan at Marseille.

The former France Under-21 international scored twice in 14 league games for the Stade Velodrome side last season.
