The 31-year-old striker signed a two-year deal with the option of a third after passing a medical in London on Thursday as the Magpies moved swiftly to complete the formalities.

Viduka: "Talking to Sam was a big turning point for me.

"I really wanted to hear what Sam's plans were for the new season and what players he was looking to bring in, and his answers matched with what I was thinking myself.

"I want to win things and Newcastle United is a club that has all the ingredients to do that, especially with Sam coming in.

"The potential here is enormous and I am really pleased to be part of it.

"It is definitely one of the biggest clubs in the country and if we can get success, then it will be something special."
