Amalfitano Has A Massive Jump To Make!

29 May 2012 12:32
The Magpies' first summer signing - Romain Amalfitano - moves from France's second tier league to the Premiership. Should we not expect too much too soon?

He joins from Reims in France, who have just secured promotion to Ligue 1, and the 22-year-old midfielder wants to maintain winning ways on Tyneside.

Romain Amalfitano: "Naturally, I have this winning mentality that footballers tend to have.

"Newcastle have already shown last season in their performances without me that they've also got that kind of mentality.

"So I'm hoping to learn and get involved as much as possible with that."

"I've never played in any of the European competitions and of course I'm excited to do that.

"But I just want to impose myself here. That's my main objective for the moment - to make a place for myself in the team."
