Picture exclusive: Valentino Lazaro is all smiles after completing his Newcastle United move

Newcastle United new boy Valentino Lazaro has posed with a black and white shirt at the club's training ground.

Pictured alongside his agent Max Hagmayr, the Austrian international's whirlwind week has ended with him signing on the dotted line for the Magpies.

Talks were held with Serie A outfit Bologna and Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig but after a fresh round of talks with Newcastle he boarded a private jet last night from Milan.

Lazaro was all smiles when pictured leaving the training ground after his medical but will have to wait until the Norwich game for his debut after Inter Milan failed to get their paperwork done in time for him to face Oxford.

After pipping other clubs to his signature, Bruce said: "There was big talk of Leipzig of course.

"But the idea of playing Premier League (has convinced him).

"His agent was here last weekend.

“He can play in a few positions. He is an out and out wide player. We are delighted we have got him. It’s that bit of quality, like Bentaleb.”
