Roma to sign permanently Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa

AS Roma have signed permanently Newcastle United defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.

Yanga-Mbiwa made his 20th appearance for Roma in their draw with Fiorentina, so they'll buy him from Newcastle United.

The loan spell included a clause making the buy-out clause mandatory if the defender notched up 20 games in all competition.

Roma now have to pay Newcastle United the full fee of €7m (around £5.2m).
