Bordeaux manager Willy Sagnol confirmed the player’s departure in a press conference this afternoon ahead of FCGB’s Coupe de la Ligue clash in midweek.

Sagnol had the following to say:

“Newcastle and Bordeaux have reached an agreement for the transfer of Henri Saivet. For me, Saivet was our most important player in the last 6 months. Henri Saivet wanted to leave the club and was looking for another challenge. He has been here for a long time. I gave my agreement for the departure of Saivet.”
