Newcastle United have signed forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille for an initial £51.4m.
Fernandez-Pardo flew into Tyneside on Monday night to have a medical and sign a long-term contract.
The 21-year-old said he was "very proud to be at such a big club" following talks with head coach Matthias Jaissle.
"He really showed how much he wanted me to be here," the Belgium international said.
"In terms of my own career progression, it made complete sense to come so I didn't hesitate at all.

Former Newcastle defender John Anderson has a new favourite Magpies player in Amar Dedic following the full-back's impressive start on Tyneside.
After Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-0, Anderson praised a number of the individual performances from Mathias Jaissle's side.
"I'm always cautious," he told BBC Radio Newcastle. "It's only two games in, but there's more encouraging signs than there is negativity, that's for sure."
"Nico Gonzalez came in and had an excellent debut. Anthony Elanga looks like a new player compared with last season, when he came in for a lot of criticism. Yoane Wissa the same. They're like two new signings as well because of the way that they've played in the opening games. Lewis Miley came into midfield and just strolled - he and Gonzalez bossed it in there.
"Defensively, we were worried. I was worried about Sven Botman coming into the season because his form in pre-season had been really poor. But, he and Malick Thiaw are building up a good relationship.

Matthias Jaissle watched on as his Newcastle United team comprehensively defeated Tottenham away from home.
The longer the game went on the better United looked.
Matthias Jaissle was appointed by Newcastle United on 5 August 2026.
Only 24 days later he is delivering his second NUFC victory and in reality, so unlucky not to be sitting here with a perfect three from three, Liverpool having got so lucky at St James' Park.
Such a summer of upheaval on Tyneside and yet the new boss has dealt with it all brilliantly.

It has been an eventful summer on Tyneside, but 25 May proved a particularly significant date.
On the same day Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto de Zerbi reached out to Sandro Tonali, Newcastle United announced Lewis Miley had signed a new long-term contract.
Newcastle have recruited three midfielders this summer to offset the departures of Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes to Spurs and ***** nal, but it is rather telling that manager Matthias Jaissle is already a "big fan" of one he inherited.
Jaissle certainly did not think twice about starting Miley against Liverpool on the opening weekend, despite him only playing 45 minutes in pre-season following a spell out with a broken leg.
Newcastle have since signed Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City in a deal worth up to £52m, but the new arrival is expected to complement Miley rather than hinder his progress and the academy graduate looks set to keep his place as he faces Tonali for the first time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (17:30 BST).

Newcastle United will clash heads with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies managed to earn a narrow 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion in midweek, which should give them some confidence ahead of this league match this weekend.
Matthias Jaissle will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could make some changes to his first XI for this game. We can expect to see Nick Woltemade get the nod to lead the charge for the Tyneside club up top.
Lukas Hornicek will operate in goal for the Magpies after allowing two goals in his last league outing. Sven Botman will resume his partnership with Malick Thiaw at the centre of the Newcastle backline as they try to frustrate the home team during the 90 minutes.
Amar Dedic will fill in as the right-back, while Lewis Hall hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Fabian Schar will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

While all eyes from Liverpool fans will be on prospective incomings during the final week of the summer transfer window, there could also be several players leaving Anfield over the coming days.
Kopites bade an emotional farewell to Mo Salah and Andy Robertson on the final day of last season, with Ibrahima Konate also departing on a free transfer in subsequent weeks, and Curtis Jones completed his move to Inter Milan over the past few days.
Young talents like Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Kieran Morrison have departed on loan, and a few more could be following them out the door between now and the deadline next Tuesday.
In the latest Transfer DealSheet for The Athletic, which was published this morning, James Pearce ****** sed which players could viably leave Liverpool over the coming week.
He wrote that 'the future is uncertain' for Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott after both were omitted from Andoni Iraola's matchday squad for the 2-2 draw at Newcastle on Sunday, having also stated after the game on Tyneside that 'it would be no surprise' if that duo were to depart.

James Pearce has said it 'would be no surprise' if two Liverpool players in particular were to leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window.
There were a couple of notable omissions from Andoni Iraola's matchday squad for his first official game in charge against Newcastle on Sunday, with no place in the starting XI or even on the bench for Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa.
The two attackers have been touted for potential exits from Anfield for some time, and speculation will inevitably be fuelled by them having no part to play in the 2-2 draw at St James' Park.
In an article for The Athletic reflecting upon yesterday's match, Pearce hinted that the Liverpool duo could viably depart the club before next Tuesday's transfer deadline after they were overlooked by Iraola for the trip to Tyneside.
He wrote: 'With Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott not even making the bench against Newcastle, it would be no surprise if they moved on in the remaining eight days of the window.'

Liverpool begin a new Premier League chapter on Sunday afternoon when Andoni Iraola takes his side to face Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Kick-off is scheduled for 4.30pm UK time on Sunday, 23 August, with the contest providing an immediate test of Iraola's ability to revive a team that fell well short of expectations last season.
Liverpool finished fifth with 60 points in 2025-26, relinquishing their league ****** le in subdued fashion and leaving their supporters with uncomfortable questions about the strength and balance of the squad. Iraola has been appointed to restore energy, aggression and clarity, but the scale of that ****** ignment should not be underestimated.
Newcastle are also beginning again. Matthias Jaissle has replaced Eddie Howe following a summer of considerable upheaval on Tyneside. Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes have all departed, stripping the team of three players who previously supplied much of its personality and quality.
For both managers, this is more than an opening fixture. It is the first public measure of how successfully they have handled turbulent summers.

Newcastle and Liverpool have combined in some of the Premier League's most historically memorable clashes.
But it has been a close season of upheaval on both Tyneside and Merseyside ahead of Sunday's standout opening weekend clash at St James' Park.
Andoni Iraola replaced Arne Slot after the Dutchman was relieved of his duties at Liverpool at the end of last season, while Matthias Jaissle has the tall task of following Eddie Howe as Newcastle boss.
The Magpies have lost key men Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes in this transfer window, but a new-look team can be sure of raucous backing from the home faithful. Alexander Isak, on his first return to the north east with Liverpool, will likely face a brutal reception, raising the temperature further.

Newcastle United host Liverpool at St James' Park on Sunday evening in Matthias Jaissle's first competitive match in charge, at the end of a summer defined by significant upheaval on Tyneside.
Jaissle arrives from Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League to replace Eddie Howe, who left the club after the start of pre-season. He inherits a squad that has sold Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon for a combined fee in excess of £240m, alongside the earlier departure of Kieran Trippier to Wolves.
Joelinton is the most notable absentee. Jaissle confirmed the midfielder is out with a groin injury but should return within a couple of weeks. Tino Livramento remains sidelined with a calf problem that forced him to withdraw from England's World Cup squad, and Fabian Schär is also being monitored for fitness. Lewis Miley made his first appearance since breaking his leg in last weekend's 2–1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, but whether he is ready to start remains uncertain.
Sean Steur is expected to be handed his full debut in central midfield, though fellow new signing Aladji Bamba offers a genuine alternative in the same role. Amar Dedic, Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman continue to bed in alongside captain Lewis Hall at the back. Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes provide the width, with Yoane Wissa operating just behind William Osula, who leads the line. Lukas Hornicek continues in goal, having established himself as the club's first-choice option this summer.
Newcastle United possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Hornicek; Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Ramsey, Steur; Elanga, Wissa, Barnes; Osula

Newcastle United's goalkeeping department has undergone a huge transformation this summer following the arrivals of two new goalies and the departure of on-loan Aaron Ramsdale.
All of that left Nick Pope facing the prospect of beginning the new Premier League season outside Matthias Jaissle's starting XI, if not entirely out of Tyneside, as there have been suggestions of a likely sale ahead of the new campaign.
The Magpies have spent heavily on two younger goalkeepers, paying £25.7 million (€29.8 million) for Lukas Hornicek from Braga and £18.5 million (€21.5 million) for Ewen Jaouen. Pope, meanwhile, has been omitted from Newcastle's last three preseason friendlies while entering the final year of his contract, and Jaissle already acknowledged that both sides were looking for a solution just over a week ago.
Despite all of those signs pointing toward a possible departure, talkSPORT has now reported that Pope has no intention of simply surrendering his Newcastle career and is prepared to compete with Hornicek for the No. 1 job.
"Nick Pope wants to stay at Newcastle and fight for his place, talkSPORT understands," the outlet reported. "Pope's status as the Magpies' number one goalkeeper is in doubt following the arrival of giant Czech stopper Lukas Hornicek."

But the England defender felt like he had joined a new club when he returned following his post-World Cup break.
"I'm still learning names to be honest," he said.
Understandably so.
It has been another turbulent summer on Tyneside following the departures of manager Eddie Howe and influential figures Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.

Matthias Jaissle takes charge of Newcastle for the first time as they face Valencia in a pre-season friendly.
The former Red Bull Salzburg and Al-Ahli coach was appointed after Eddie Howe parted ways with the club midway through the summer, bringing an end to a popular if occasionally turbulent spell on Tyneside.
Now the German will have the first chance to test out his philosophy as the Magpies visit the Estadio de Mestalla, with Newcastle arriving off the back of a decidedly mixed run of pre-season games - a 3-0 win over Darlington followed a 1-1 draw with Gateshead and a 4-1 mauling by Championship club Bristol City.
They then face Everton, Bayer Leverkusen and Strasbourg before the start of the Premier League season, with Jaissle overseeing a very different squad to last term after the departures of major names Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Kieran Trippier.
Here's everything you need to know.

His exit is another major blow for Newcastle following the exit of manager Howe and the sales of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali – while Mikel Arteta has added one of the Premier League's top midfielders to his ***** le-winning side.

A rebuild was always on the cards on Tyneside this summer, not least in the goalkeeping department.
Leaky Newcastle kept just eight clean sheets in the Premier League last season and conceded 55 goals, 15th overall with only relegated Burnley, West Ham and Wolves plus Leeds and Tottenham below them.
Newcastle's outfield players clearly did not offer enough protection, but goalkeeper Nick Pope made a handful of significant errors leading to goals while Aaron Ramsdale never fully convinced during his loan spell and has since returned to Southampton.
A new number one was therefore a priority and Newcastle have once again looked to the continent.
The club have mainly targeted players aged 20 and under from abroad, having already recruited Jaouen, Sean Steur, Bazoumana Toure and Aladji Bamba, so Lukas Lukas Hornicek will feel like something of an elder statesman in comparison.

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on Newcastle United full-back Lewis Hall. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are eyeing a move to bring the English defender to Old Trafford this summer.
Hall enjoyed a good run of form at the Tyneside club in the previous campaign as he was responsible for putting in a run of consistent displays on the left side of their defence. The 21-year-old scored one goal and grabbed two ******* ists in 47 matches for Newcastle last season across multiple competitions.
The English talent is currently among the most talented full-backs in the Premier League. Hence, it is no wonder that the Red Devils are hoping to land him this off-season.
His current deal at St. James' Park will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for Man United to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Eddie Howe is set to step down as Newcastle United boss after almost five years in charge, the Press ******* ociation understands.
The 48-year-old arrived on Tyneside in November 2021 and ended the club's 70-year wait for domestic silverware with League Cup glory in 2025.
His time in charge also saw the Magpies twice qualify for the Champions League.
However, last season was a disappointment as Newcastle limped to 12th place in the Premier League.
The Magpies have also endured a difficult summer transfer window with the departure of stars Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, while speculation continues over the future of captain Bruno Guimaraes.

Once again, Eddie Howe can be bracketed alongside two of Tyneside's favourite faces. This time, however, it is in less enviable fashion. Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan left Newcastle suddenly in late summers, decisions seemingly taken at the wrong time plunging them into transition and trouble. At least, unlike a couple of distinguished predecessors, Howe has gone before a season has started and not after a few games.
But it is less than four weeks before it begins, following a 4-1 friendly defeat to Bristol City, when it seems the team Howe built is falling apart. Howe was a transformative and a terrific Newcastle manager, but the danger is his five-year reign comes to be the anomaly in their recent history, a period of achievement surrounded by the underachievement.
Howe did something even Robson and Keegan could not and took a trophy to Tyneside: Newcastle's first since 1969, their first in English football in seven decades. Go back 17 months, to the day they won the Carabao Cup, and Howe was asked about getting his own statue at St James' Park. With characteristic modesty, he deflected the questions. Was he, he was asked, a legend? "We don't put ourselves in that bracket," he said. "We will let other people decide that when we are long gone."

Newcastle United have agreed a deal worth up to £34m for Monaco midfielder Aladji Bamba.
The 20-year-old Frenchman, who played his first senior game in August 2025, is due on Tyneside on Thursday to have a medical and sign a long-term contract.
Newcastle sold Sandro Tonali to Tottenham last month and have been in the market for a second young midfielder after signing 18-year-old Sean Steur from Ajax.
Another target, Freiburg's Johan Manzambi, opted to join Aston Villa last week.
Among Ligue 1 midfielders who played at least 500 minutes last season, Bamba ranked in the top five for duels won (9.1 per game on average), tackles (3.6), successful take-ons (1.6) and aerial duels won (1.9).

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Manchester City are eager to recruit Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes. It has been mentioned that the Mancunian club are trailing ***** nal in the race to land the Brazilian midfield ace, who wants to leave the Magpies this summer.
Guimaraes enjoyed a decent run of form at the Tyneside club as he was responsible for putting in a series of influential performances for them in the middle of the park. The 28-year-old made 41 appearances for Newcastle last season, scoring nine times and securing eight ***** ists in various competitions.
The Brazilian sensation is currently one of the best central midfielders in the Premier League. Hence, it is no surprise that Man City are in the mix to recruit him this off-season.
His current contract at St. James' Park will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for the Mancunian club to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Newcastle United have entered the race to sign Parma's breakout ***** an international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, threatening to hijack Leeds United's long-standing pursuit. Eddie Howe and Daniel Farke are at St James' Park and Elland Road, respectively. The Magpies' interest in Suzuki has intensified in recent days as manager Eddie Howe seeks to further reshape his goalkeeping department following the arrival of Ewen Jaouen from Ligue 2 side Reims.
Following the free-transfer departures of Illan Meslier and Karl Darlow, with the former joining ***** nal, Leeds United had pinpointed Suzuki as their absolute priority target between the sticks and reportedly already agreed a contract running until 2031 to outmanoeuvre parallel European interest from Juventus and Aston Villa.
However, Newcastle's interest has shifted the landscape. Senior recruitment figures on Tyneside have been monitoring the 'world-class' keeper closely since March, when senior scout Mick Tait watched Suzuki keep a clean sheet in ***** an's 1-0 win over England at Wembley. Suzuki's profile has only risen since, having started all four matches for ***** an at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America before their narrow last-32 elimination against Brazil.
Newcastle's urgency is fuelled by growing uncertainty over Nick Pope. The 34-year-old veteran has entered the final year of his contract at St James' Park and has been linked with a move to Ipswich Town.
With Suzuki cleared to leave Parma this summer, Newcastle's recruitment team must act swiftly if they are to win the race for his signature. While Leeds remain in contention and are desperate to secure a long-term successor to Meslier, the prospect of European football under Eddie Howe could give the Magpies a crucial edge.

Everton are reportedly interested in signing Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy this summer, according to Sky Sports. Eddie Howe and David Moyes are at St James' Park and the Hill ***** inson Stadium, respectively.
The 31-year-old winger has entered the final 12 months of his contract at St James' Park, casting doubt over his long-term future in the North East. With Newcastle undergoing a busy summer rebuild under manager Eddie Howe, the club's hierarchy are open to considering permanent solutions for ageing players if their valuation is met.
For Everton, signing an experienced, hard-working wide option like Murphy would be viewed as a pragmatic move. While the Toffees have completed a deal worth up to £25 million for Chelsea's teenage sensation Tyrique George, the management are determined to balance youth with proven Premier League pedigree. Murphy fits this profile perfectly, having been a regular for the Magpies since joining from Norwich City nine years ago and proving his reliability in both domestic and European competitions.
Despite Murphy's contract situation, Eddie Howe remains determined to keep him, often describing the winger as the 'ultimate professional' whose team-first mentality is vital in the dressing room. Newcastle have already raised significant funds through the record-breaking sales of Sandro Tonali to Tottenham and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona for a combined £169 million, meaning they are under no financial pressure to sell.
While Everton have yet to submit a formal offer to test Newcastle's resolve, their interest is genuine. Murphy, a lifelong Newcastle supporter, is settled on Tyneside but could be tempted by a new challenge that offers more consistent game time than the 19 starts he made last season.

Newcastle United have been dealt a major blow after club captain Bruno Guimaraes officially informed the hierarchy of his desire to leave Tyneside and join reigning Premier League champions ****** nal. Eddie Howe is at St James’ Park and Mikel Arteta is at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are intensifying their pursuit of Guimaraes behind the scenes. The North London club are prepared to offer a structured package worth up to £60 million to bring the highly rated midfielder to the Emirates Stadium. Manager Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his midfield this summer and sees Guimaraes as the ideal addition.
Despite ****** nal’s intent, Newcastle’s stance remains a significant obstacle. At present, there has been no formal club-to-club contact, as Newcastle remain resolute in their refusal to entertain bids for their 28-year-old talismanic captain. Having already generated an estimated £170 million in revenue this summer through the high-profile sales of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona and Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur, the Tyneside club are under no immediate pressure to sanction another marquee departure.
However, retaining an unsettled captain presents a different challenge for manager Eddie Howe. Guimaraes is said to be increasingly frustrated by Newcastle’s recent decline, which saw them finish 12th and miss out on European football. The ongoing exodus of key players has prompted the midfielder to prioritise his prime years, with the prospect of Champions League football under Arteta a major factor. While Newcastle’s hierarchy are prepared to hold firm and demand a significant premium, Guimaraes’ desire to leave could ultimately weaken their negotiating position.
