DeAndre Yedlin finalises move to Newcastle United from Tottenham Hotspur

DeAndre Yedlin finalises a transfer to Newcastle United from Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle United have announced the signing of DeAndre Yedlin from Tottenham Hotspur on a five-year contract.

The 23-year-old USA international has moved to St James' Park for an undisclosed fee, just one year after arriving at White Hart Lane from Seattle Sounders.

Yedlin struggled to break into Mauricio Pochettino's first team at Spurs, which resulted in a loan spell at Newcastle's fierce rivals Sunderland last season.

After becoming the Magpies' ninth signing of the summer, Yedlin told the club's official website: "Newcastle is such a big and historic club, and I'm excited to have the honour of playing for them. Hopefully I can do great things here.

"I'm excited to learn under Rafa Benitez as well. He has an amazing résumé and I know he will help improve me a lot. I can't wait to get started."

Manager Rafael Benitez added: "We have known for a little while of Watford's interest in Daryl Janmaat, so it was important for us to bring in a replacement immediately.

"In DeAndre we have a player who knows English football well. He has good experience, an attacking mentality, ability and great pace. I think he can do really well for us and will give us good competition on the right."

Yedlin has 39 international caps to his name.
