Newcastle have completed the signing of Yoshinori Muto from Mainz.
The move has been confirmed on the club’s official website. The forward has signed a four-year contract with Rafa Benitez’s side.
Muto will be Newcastle’s fifth signing after the arrivals of Martin Dúbrvaka, Ki Sung-yueng and Fabian Schär, and the loan capture of Kenedy.
According to Chronicle, the Magpies will pay around £9.5million for the Japanese forward. The player had completed his medical and agreed personal terms with Newcastle earlier this week.
Muto was waiting on his work permit and it seems that the player has been granted the permission to complete his transfer.
