Newcastle United have officially unveiled new signing Sven Botman.
The Dutch defender joins from Lille for a reported £32m.
“I’m really happy – delighted – and I can’t wait to start this new adventure. This is the best day of my life, to sign a contract with Newcastle United. It’s a day I’ve worked hard for and I’m very excited,” Botman told the club’s website.
“Newcastle had a long-term plan to get to the top, for both me and for the club, and they play in the Premier League which is the best league in Europe.
“The whole package is just perfect. I’m looking forward now to meeting the fans and also my new team-mates.”
Botman started his career at the famed academy at Ajax before joining Lille where we won the Ligue 1 title in 2020/21.
