NEWCASTLE have completed the signing of Tino Livramento from Southampton.
The 20-year-old full-back has swapped St Mary’s for St James’ Park in a £30million transfer.
Newcastle have signed Livramento from Southampton
The full-back has signed a five-year deal
He penned a five-year deal this week which will keep him at the club until June 2028.
Speaking to the official Newcastle website upon his arrival, Livramento said: “I’m really excited to have signed for Newcastle United and I’m looking forward to playing in front of the fans.
“I was here for the games over the weekend; even though they were friendlies, there were so many fans and they were still so loud so I can’t wait to see what it feels like to play in front of them in a Premier League or Champions League game.
“The way the manager plays football is really attractive and I feel like it suits me as a player.
“And with how well the team did last season, the trajectory that we’re on now, I’m just looking forward to being a part of that.
“And to be able to learn from Kieran Trippier is another big thing for me; hopefully he teaches me how to become a better player and a better full-back.”
Chelsea are reportedly set to claim HALF of the £30m fee due to a sell-on clause in Livramento’s Southampton contract.
The full-back spent 12 years at Chelsea before joining the Saints in a £5m transfer.
