| Newcastle United announced the signing of Anderlecht defender Chancel Mbemba this Thursday, after the player was granted his work permit from the FA. The 20-year-old DR Congo international, who had agreed personal terms with the Magpies last week, has been handed a five-year deal at St James' Park. The former MK Etanchéité youngster had joined the Belgian giants in 2011, breaking into the first team in the 2013-2014 season. "I'm very, very happy to be here. This is the biggest league in the world and I'm very proud to wear the shirt for this team and play in this league," Mbemba told the club's official website. "I'm going to do everything I can to help make the supporters happy, to help out my teammates and to bring something extra to the team. "I know the team very well. I've watched the Premier League and I know this is a massive team with big players and with a great coach. "I've come here to Newcastle United because it's a very good move in my career to play for such a famous club. I am excited for the season ahead." The Congolese will join his new teammates as soon as he receives the appropriate visa. |
