The left-back signed a five-year deal at St James’s Park last night in a transfer that cost the Magpies in the region of £15 million.

The deal follows on from the double signing of former Bournemouth duo Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser on Monday.

"Jamal is a very exciting prospect,” said Bruce.

"I watched him flourish in the Championship two years ago and he made a real fist of it in the Premier League last season.

"He is only 22 and has a wonderful future ahead of him. I hope he’s a Newcastle United full-back for years to come.

"It's been a great week for us with incoming players. We have had to be patient but these players improve us, which is key."
