Eddie Howe has been reacting after Newcastle United completed the signing of Bazoumana Toure

An official club announcement on Sunday revealing the news.

The 20-year-old winger signed from Hoffenheim.

Bazoumana Toure is the second NUFC senior signing of summer 2026.

Eddie Howe declaring: “We’re really pleased to have been able to bring Bazoumana to Newcastle United. He has shown his ability to perform in a top European league during his time in Germany and has gained really good experience with his national team, especially at this summer’s World Cup. We feel that he’s a player with a really high ceiling – he’s somebody who we believe can offer us something different. He also a lot of potential to unlock and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”

A busy summer is anticipated at St James’ Park.

Bazoumana Toure is the second senior signing made since Sporting Director Ross Wilson arrived at the club in late 2025.

Ross Wilson stating: “We’re delighted to welcome Bazoumana to Newcastle United. At just 20 years old, he’s already a hugely exciting young talent who has progressed year on year. We are sure there’s plenty more growth still to come – development we’re excited to nurture here at Newcastle. We’ve been working to get this transfer arranged in recent weeks, whilst Bazoumana has been at the World Cup. Finally, I’d like to thank TSG Hoffenheim for their professionalism in all of our discussions and for the care they’ve shown him. I know they share our excitement in Bazoumana’s quality and potential.”
