Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe was pleased with Sven Botman for their friendly win against 1860 Munich.

The Toon won 3-0 via goals from Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes.

On new signing Botman, Howe said: “I'm really pleased to get the deal done. It's no secret we've been chasing him for a long time. He has real ability, I think you saw that.

“He's a presence. He's a really good size, his technical ability has been evident from day one in pre-season. His ability to play not just long passes, but short passes. He's very, very composed.

“I think he's settled in very well with the group. He's a very likeable person, very laid back and calm. I've been very pleased with his impact on the group in a short period of time. I think he'll be very pleased with today."
