New Newcastle United signing Facundo Ferreyra has revealed that it was an "easy decision" for him to join the club.
The 23-year-old signed for the Magpies on a season-long loan deal from Shakhtar Donetsk, and the Argentine also admitted that his friend Fabricio Coloccini played a part in the move.
Ferreyra told the club's official website: "I am very pleased to sign for Newcastle United. I like the Premier League and when I knew that Newcastle were interested in me, it was a very easy decision to make.
"I spoke to my friend Fabricio Coloccini, and when he told me about the club, I didn't need to think twice."
Ferreyra scored six goals in 13 matches for the Ukrainian side last season.
