July 24 : Newcastle United have signed midfielder Aladji Bamba on a five-year deal from French side AS Monaco, the Premier League club said on Friday.
• The club will pay an initial fee of £30 million ($39.95 million), plus add-ons, for the 20-year-old, according to British media reports.
• A product of Monaco’s academy, Bamba made his first-team debut for the Ligue 1 club last year and went on to make 25 appearances, including both legs of Monaco’s Champions League knockout phase playoff against Paris St Germain.
• “I’m excited to test myself in a new league, the biggest league in the world. I learned a lot last season and now I feel ready for this new opportunity. I will give my all for this club,” Bamba said in a statement.
