Done deal: Newcastle United announce signing of Arsenal transfer target

It seems something similar may also have happened with Malick Fofana, who was being considered as an option yesterday before rapidly heading towards a transfer elsewhere, with Crystal Palace and Sunderland emerging as his two main options.

Newcastle will be delighted, however, to have landed a top young talent like Fernandez-Pardo to give them a new-look attack after the blow of losing Anthony Gordon earlier this summer.
