Speaking to le11amienois.fr Elsner discussed the prospect of losing the Sweden international, who has been subject to a bid of more than £4million by the Magpies this summer.

And, having secured a deal for former PSG defender Christophe Jallet, Elsner is relaxed about Krafth’s possible departure to the Premier League.

He said: “Emil is a great professional.

"There are no worries about him and his ability to handle events. For my part, I know there are things going on behind the scenes.

"We are a development club, which will inevitably have to deal with this kind of situation.

"The fact that players are being wooed is not a problem in itself. Going forward, solutions have been planned in case of departures and I think we are well equipped to face all possible events."
