The Senegal internationals have signed three-year contracts
|
Newcastle have completed the signing of Senegal defenders Abdoulaye Faye and Habib Beye for undisclosed fees from Bolton and Marseille respectively.
Faye, 29, links up with ex-Bolton boss Sam Allardyce, now in charge at Newcastle, who had signed him from Lens during the 2005-6 season.
He operated mainly as a defensive midfielder during his time at Bolton.
Marseille captain Beye, 29, can play at right-back or centre-back, and like Faye, has signed a three-year deal.
He had spent four years with Marseille after joining from Strasbourg in 2003.
