Official: Mbemba to Newcastle

TRANSFERS Newcastle United announced the transfer of Chancel Mbemba. The Congolese signed a contract for five years for the English club. He's the second RSCA-player to move to the Magpies, after Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The transfer fee that Newcastle will pay is somewhere around 12 million euro. Anderlecht will keep 10 million themselves since the rest is for Mbemba and his managers.

"I am proud to be here! This is the biggest competition in the world and I'm happy to wear the shirt of Newcastle. I will try my best to make the fans happy and help my team mates", Mbemba said. 

Manger Van Holsbeeck already announced that Mbemba's replacement will arrive in Anderlecht next week. Who it's going to be, is not yet know.
