The Spanish forward said he was "looking forward to getting to know" his teammates, the English city, the training ground, the stadium and all supporters of the English Premier League (EPL) side.

"We have known Joselu since his days at the Real Madrid academy, and we know that he has the potential to do well for us," Newcastle coach Rafa Benitez said.
