Harvey Barnes agreed a five-year contract with the Magpies as he remains in the Premier League following Leicester's relegation to the Championship at the end of last season. The English striker is already in Philadelphia with his new teammates and has given his first interview as a Newcastle player.
"I'm delighted. It's been in the process for a couple of weeks, which is nice as a player, but then you're just desperate for it to happen. When you know the interest is there you're waiting for it to happen. When it got over the line and I found out it was all sorted it was a great day," he said.
"It's an exciting new challenge on and off the pitch. We're used to living in Leicester but coming up here it's new beginnings. I feel like I'll fit in well with the style. It's a fast-paced game and seeing last season the amount of chances created, goals scored, the defensive record, of course, as an attacking player coming into that side it's exciting."
