Newcastle United have completed the signing of Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The 20-year-old has joined the Magpies from Belgian club Anderlecht on a five-year deal for a reported fee of £13million, making him the club's fourth most expensive transfer in history.
Mitrovic makes his way to St James' Park after starting his youth career with Partizan Belgrade and debuting in a senior sense for their affiliate Teleoptik in 20112.
The 13-time Serbia international has been prolific in Belgium, scoring 44 goals in 90 appearances for Anderlecht over two seasons.
“I am so happy to have signed for Newcastle," he told the club's official website.
"I visited the stadium yesterday and it's amazing. I have played in a lot of impressive stadiums in my career but St. James' Park is so big, I can't wait to play my first game here.
“I know how passionate the fans are. This is a club with a very big history and the fans are a big part of that. There will be pressure here, for sure, but I like pressure.
“I also know about the famous players who have played for Newcastle United, like Alan Shearer who is a hero of mine. I hope I can play like him for this club. It will be an honour."
