Livramento said:: "I'm really excited to have signed for Newcastle United and I'm looking forward to playing in front of the fans.

"I was here for the games over the weekend; even though they were friendlies, there were so many fans and they were still so loud so I can't wait to see what it feels like to play in front of them in a Premier League or Champions League game."

Livramento is Eddie Howe's third summer signing following the arrivals of Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali from AC Milan and winger Harvey Barnes from Leicester for a fee which could rise to €44m.
