The contract between this Vietnamese-American player and Saint-Etienne expired on June 30. Although he once expressed his desire to continue contributing to this traditional team, Cabaye was not offered a contract extension by coach Claude Puel. Lam is unemployed, it is unclear what the future of this midfielder will be and he can choose to retire.
Yohan Cabaye was born in 1986, playing as a central midfielder. He has a Vietnamese grandmother and is the most famous and successful player of Vietnamese origin ever. Cabaye emerged as a player for Lille, along with Eden Hazard winning the French national championship in 2010 2011 and winning the French League Cup.
He then moved to Newcastle United in England for 3 seasons. In early 2014, he moved to PSG for a transfer fee of 20 million euros and won 4 more titles in France. The midfielder then played for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, reaching the 2015-2016 FA Cup final but losing 1-2 to Man United. In recent years, Cabaye's form has declined and he has also suffered continuous injuries. Before joining Saint-Etienne, Cabaye had a period of playing in the UAE.
In the national team, Cabaye chose to wear the French national team jersey in 2010. The central midfielder has played 48 times and scored four goals. He was a member of the French team that won the EURO 2016 runner-up position at home. At that time, Cabaye only played as a reserve, playing 2 matches against Switzerland and Germany.
On the market at the moment, Cabaye is valued at 800,000 euros. However, any team that wants him will not have to pay a transfer fee, because he is a free player.
