Nico Gonzalez signs! - Announcement video and full details of £50m deal

It's official; Newcastle United have completed the signing of Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City.

The Spanish midfielder arrives for a fee in the region of £50m, with Newcastle paying an initial £47m plus a further £3m in potential add-ons.

Nico, 24, has penned a long-term deal on Tyneside, leaving the Etihad after 18 months in Manchester. 

Watch the club's initial announcement video below, with the player due on the pitch before tonight’s 7:45 pm kick-off. 

A serious signing for Toon 

This really does feel like a top-tier signing for the club, and a reminder of the pull Newcastle still have despite no European football following last season's 12th-place finish.

Nico played 41 times under Pep Guardiola last season and has previously been called a 'mini Rodri' by the former Man City manager.

The former Porto star brings composure on the ball, quality and that protective screen to our midfield, and feels like a statement arrival that perfectly complements young talents like Sean Steur, Lewis Miley and Aladji Bamba. 

Welcome to the Toon, Nico!
