Thiaw arrived at Newcastle from AC Milan for £35million on Tuesday.

When asked if the 24-year-old will be involved, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said: “Yes, Malik will. He's trained for two days. Never easy coming in right at the end of pre-season for him because, of course, a lot of our work's already done and our structures are in place.

“But in the little bits that we've seen, I think we've signed a top-quality player.”
