### Newcastle United

Domi's performances earned a €6m move to [Newcastle United](/source/Newcastle_United_F.C.) in January 1999, but after a good start he fell out of favour and began 2001 with a return to PSG for the same fee for which they sold him. Whilst at Newcastle he played in the [1999 FA Cup Final](/source/1999_FA_Cup_Final) and scored three league goals, all coming in the 1999–2000 season against Wimbledon, Coventry and rivals Sunderland.
