Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba and Sylvain Marveaux have all snapped up houses in the Newcastle area.
Taking it as a sign of their commitment to the cause, the club also believe it will prevent any major upheaval when they return to the North East for pre-season training on July 4.
Newcastle will lay on English lessons for Cabaye, who is the only one of the trio who doesn’t boast fluent language skills.
Assistant boss John Carver: “What’s helped is that we’ve signed them on long-term contracts.
“The players are going to adjust their lifestyles and buy properties so they can settle in Newcastle. That can only help them on the field.
“When players come here and buy properties, it shows their intentions. These players want to play for this club.
“You think back to Olivier Bernard and Laurent Robert, two French lads who played here.
“Ollie still lives in the region –he’s settled here. He loves the area because of the people, and Laurent still comes back to visit.”

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE
Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
