Newcastle have announced the signing of Florian Lejeune from Eibar for a fee of £8.7 million. The highly rated centre-back has signed a five-year contract with the Magpies.
The 26-year-old had been linked with a move to St James’ Park for weeks now and the Magpies have finally secured his services.
Lejeune had a fantastic season with Eibar in La Liga last term and he will hope to make a similar impact in the Premier League next season. The Paris-born defender helped his team finish in the top half last year.
