Newcastle United have completed a £5million deal for Swedish international Emil Krafth.
The defender has signed an initial four-year deal with the Magpies and joins from Ligue 1 side Amiens.
United head coach Steve Bruce said today: "He turned 25 last week and has great experience, with more than 20 caps for Sweden and having played in the top flight in three different countries.
"He's a good height for a full-back, speaks excellent English and is a very good player.
"He's a really good acquisition."
And reflecting on his move to Newcastle, Krafth said: "It feels really good.
"It's been a busy couple of days, but finally I'm here.
"I'm very happy to sign for Newcastle and I can't wait to start training with the guys.
"When a Premier League team wants to sign you, of course you are happy.
"I know Newcastle is a big club, so I'm very happy to sign here and to be here right now.
"It’s a good moment in my career to take a step forward.
"The plans Newcastle had for me, I felt like they were fitting me perfectly, so that was why I chose Newcastle."
