Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of Yoan Gouffran from Bordeaux.  The 26 year old has become the second signing this week after the club successfully brought in Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa earlier this week, and the third of the transfer window so far. The striker, who has signed a four and half year deal for an undisclosed fee, will wear the number 11 shirt.

He told NUFC.co.uk

"I am really proud to have joined this fantastic club. Throughout the last few years I have enjoyed every moment of my time at Bordeaux but all good things must come to an end and it was time for a new challange.

And the challange of playing for one of the most famous teams in England, with all its history and it's famous support, is very exciting."

Manager Alan Pardew added;

"Yoan comes to the club with a great pedigree  and like our other signings we have made this month, is a player who will add considerable strength to our squad.

I liked the look of him when we played Bordeaux at St James' Park earlier this season; Pacey; Direct and intelligent and those are qualities I like in a footballer.

I am sure he will quickly adapt to the rigours and intensity of the Premier League and play an important role for us for the remainder of the season."
