DONE DEAL? Newcastle United sign former Manchester City defender Florian Lejeune - reports

Newcastle have completed the signing of former Manchester City defender Florian Lejeune.

According to Marca, the promoted Toon Army have agreed terms with Eibar over a move for the 26-year-old defender.

And Lejeune will be hoping his time in England will go rather better than it did last time he signed for a Premier League club.

Manchester City landed the Frenchman from Girona in August 2015 but he never made a first-team appearance for the club before he was sold to Eibar a year later.

But now he has been given another crack at English football by Newcastle.
