Florian Lejeune on how he'd get rid of a dead body and how he'd rob a bank if he was invisible

Newcastle United defender Florian Lejeune gave fans his tips for getting rid of a dead body and revealed he would rob a bank if he was invisible.

The Frenchman was the subject of United's 'Tombola' feature, published in the club's official matchday progamme produced for Newcastle's victory over Chelsea on Saturday.

For the feature, 50 'fresh and far-reaching' questions were placed inside a spinning drum. A selection of the questions were drawn at random for Lejeune to answer.

Lejeune sat on the bench for Saturday's late smash and grab win over the West Londoners , but revealed in the programme that he would take a more active role in a very different type of smash and grab if nobody could see him.

Asked by Newcastle United reporter Rory Mitchinson what he'd do if he was invisible for a day, Lejuene said: "I would rob a bank and divide the money - to my family, to poor people. Would could I do? Maybe I could do more than just rob a bank, it is a whole day, so I could do loads of things."

The 28-year-old Parisian, who has returned from a serious knee injury this season, was also asked how he would get rid of a dead body in under 24 hours.

He said: "I'm watching a series at the minute called 'You', and it is about that! I would put it in the boot of my car, drive out to sea, put it on a boat and throw it into sea with weights on it."

Lejuene also revealed his favourite cheese is Camembert, that he skipped a gym session during PE at school so he could sleep on an exercise mat in the corner of the room, he drinks pickle juice to treat cramp and that if he could have any animal in the world, he would have a Labrador.

Lejuene said he wouldn't risk getting a more exotic pet, in case the animal ate the professional footballer. "I'm a simple guy," added the central defender.
