Newcastle announce signing of Ivory Coast star Bazoumana Toure from Hoffenheim

The clubs ‌did not disclose the transfer ‌fee, but British media said ‌the deal is worth 43 million pounds ($57 million).

“I’m very, ‌very happy to be here. ⁠It ‌was my dream since I was ​young to play in the Premier League ​for a big team like Newcastle,” Toure said in ⁠a statement.

Toure ​arrives after winger Anthony Gordon left Newcastle for Barcelona in a deal reportedly worth ‌up to 80 million euros ($91.43 million) plus add-ons.

He is Newcastle’s second signing after French goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen joined the club on Wednesday.

Toure, 20, made his senior debut for Ivory Coast in ‌October last year, and made ​three appearances at the ‌World Cup.

The Ivorians exited in the round of 32 after a 2-1 defeat by Norway.
