Bamba promises to 'give my all' - but who should Newcastle target next?

[BBC] [Getty Images] New signing Aladji Bamba says he is "excited to test" himself in a new league after penning a five-year contract with Newcastle United. The 20-year-old, who only made his professional debut at Monaco last season, has completed a move for a fee which could rise to £34m. "I was very excited when I heard Newcastle were interested in signing me," Bamba said. "I know about the history of the club and I've visited the stadium already, which is amazing. "I can't wait to be on the pitch there and I hope to have some great times with the fans. 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 opportunity. I will give my all for this club." Among Ligue 1 midfielders who played at least 500 minutes last season, Bamba ranked in the top five for duels won (9.1 per game on average), tackles (3.6), successful take-ons (1.6) and aerial duels won (1.9). He becomes the club's fourth senior signing of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of Ewen Jaouen, Bazoumana Toure and Sean Steur. Head coach Eddie Howe added: "He is another exciting, young signing who we are really looking forward to working with. "He adds depth and a range of qualities to our midfield options, with huge potential for growth. His development since breaking through at Monaco has been really impressive and something we believe we can help him build on." How do you feel about this signing?
