Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is delighted with their swoop for AS Monaco striker Emmanuel Riviere.
His signature continues a successful summer for Pardew, who has already secured the services of Remy Cabella, Jack Colback, Siem de Jong and Ayoze Perez ahead of the 2014-15 season.
"This is an important signing because the striking area is one we really had to improve," Pardew said.
"We have looked at Emmanuel for a while and we know he will score goals for us.
"He is quick, hungry for success and will love having 50,000 Geordies cheering him on and singing his name.
"I am really looking forward to integrating Emmanuel in the group and cannot wait to see him in action for us."
