Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa

Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa arrived with French imports Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko, and a lot was hoped of the defender.

However, Alan Pardew often played him out of position and Yanga-Mbiwa’s career never got going at St. James’ Park.

After only 37 appearances, he joined AS Roma on loan and excelled in the Champions League – but has since seen his stock fall and currently played for Lyon in Ligue 1.

Transfer rating: 5/10
