A lot of Newcastle United fans have reacted to their club, finally confirming the signing of Valentino Lazaro.
The Austrian international arrived on Tyneside in the early hours of the morning and has agreed a loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
Who will Lazaro replace?
Atsu
Almiron
Lazaro is not available to play in the Toon’s FA Cup match with Oxford United as Inter Milan, and the player’s agent did not complete the paperwork in time.
However, he will be ready to feature next Sunday when Norwich City visit St James’ Park.
The news of Lazaro’s arrival has gone down well with these Toon fans who are excited to see what he can do.
Willkommen, Valentino! ?#NUFC

What do we think?
Bruce has stated that Lazaro will be used as a winger, and that should give him some more forward options and could mean that Christian Atsu’s game time is significantly reduced.
Lazaro, who is valued at £17.10m by Transfermarkt, is a full Austrian international and Newcastle beat off competition from Red Bull Leipzig to secure his signature.
The 23-year-old claimed that he was very happy to be on Tyneside and that he had only heard great things about the club.
It will be interesting to see how he does.
