Valentino Lazaro has taken to photo sharing social media platform Instagram to share his delight at joining Premier League club Newcastle United.

The 23-year-old Austrian defender only joined Inter six months ago from Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin but has moved on to the Magpies on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Newcastle have an option to turn the move into a permanent one come the end of the season for a reported sum of €23.5 million.

“Proud to join Newcastle and play in the Premier League for such an iconic club. Can’t wait to get on the pitch and help the team,” he posted.
