The Newcastle United Head Coach and Sporting Director have given their reaction after Matias Fernandez-Pardo signed for NUFC.
An official announcement on Tuesday revealing the news.
Matias Fernandez-Pardo arriving from Lille.
The United Head Coach saying: “I am very happy to welcome Matias to our club. We were all delighted when we knew we could complete this deal. Matias is a highly technical player with explosiveness in his game. He can score and assist, he has courage, and he has the ability to take players on. We’re sure our supporters will enjoy watching him play.”
Matthias Jaissle adding: “He has already shown in Lille that he can perform on the big stage, and we will work closely with him to keep developing his game further. We are excited to see him in a Newcastle United shirt.”
The signing of Matias Fernandez-Pardo is a third one for Matthias Jaissle after taking on the Newcastle United job in early August.
However, the Belgium international is an eighth signing for Ross Wilson this summer.
Ross Wilson giving his reaction to the latest signing: “Matias is a really important signing for us. As I said last week, we waited patiently on Nico González, and this time we’ve done the same – only longer. Matias is a strong example of how a transfer window can unfold with twists and turns along the way. Back in May, he was our top target and we always remained engaged with him. Now, at the end of the window, he becomes our eighth addition to a refreshed Newcastle United, and we are excited to welcome him.”
The NUFC Sporting Director adding: “A lot of hours went into this one, but we’re clear on our Newcastle United identity, and Matias, at 21 years old, has speed, intensity and work rate in abundance. We believe in his profile a great deal. Our fans will enjoy him, and I know he will also enjoy our amazing St. James’ Park atmosphere. I’m confident that with Matthias Jaissle and our staff, he will strongly develop and continue to grow here in Newcastle.”
