Monaco CEO Vadim Vasilyev has hinted that Yohan Cabaye and Eric Abidal are the next targets for the Monte Carlo-based outfit.

James Rodriguez, Joao Moutinho and Radamel Falcao are among the big-name signings already made by owner Dmitry Rybolovlev, and Magpies midfielder Cayabe is now believed to be the focus of attention. Meanwhile, Abidal is a free agent after leaving Barcelona.

"Yohan Cabaye? He is an exciting player," Vasilyev told L'Equipe. "And Abidal is a strong player. If he could come back to Le Championnat, everyone would be delighted."

Cabaye is also believed to have caught the attention of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
