DONE DEAL: Howe delighted as Newcastle land Southampton wing-back Livramento

Newcastle United have completed the signing of Southampton wing-back Tino Livramento.

The former Chelsea trainee moves to Newcastle for a fee rising to £40m. He has signed a five-year contract.

"Tino is a very talented young player with an exciting future ahead of him so we are delighted to sign him," said manager Eddie Howe.

"At 20, he already has lots of attributes that I admire, but he also has the potential and drive to really grow with this team.

"I'm looking forward to working with him and to seeing him develop in a Newcastle shirt."

Livramento also said: "The way the manager plays football is really attractive and I feel like it suits me as a player.

"With how well the team did last season, the trajectory that we're on now, I'm just looking forward to being a part of that.

"To be able to learn from Kieran Trippier is another big thing for me. Hopefully he teaches me how to become a better player and a better full-back."
