Newcastle United have signed goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Braga for £25.7m. Although Newcastle had already brought in 20-year-old Ewen Jaouen from Reims this summer, the club had also been in the market for a more established number one. Hornicek, 24, flew out to Newcastle's training camp in Spain at the weekend to finalise his move and sign a five-year contract after the club activated his release clause. "It's a brilliant opportunity in a new league, which I'm very excited about. Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson said the 24-year-old's "progress in recent years has been remarkable".
