Here’s NUFC announcement, where Amalfitano above, had this to say:

‘I am very happy to be a Newcastle player. ‘I have seen a bit of the city already and it is a change from France but one I am really looking forward to. ‘When a club like Newcastle wants you to play for them it can only be a good thing. I have taken the opportunity to play in the Premier League and cannot wait to get going.‘

It’s great to have him on board, and it’ll be interesting to see how we go about settling him in. Here is Romain, having his photo taken at St.James’ Park:
