Newcastle have finalised a deal for Swedish starlet Samuel Adjei.

Skysports.com revealed in January that The Magpies had made a move for the 17-year-old youth international.

Now Newcastle have beaten Portuguese giants Porto to Adjei and have pushed through a deal for the young forward, who comes in from lower league club Jonkoping Sodra.

After signing his deal Adjei revealed his ambition to make the breakthrough at St James' Park.

"I hope to play in the first-team within two years," Adjei told Fotbollsverige.

Jonkoping admitted they were also happy with the deal.

"We are pleased with what we have achieved in the negotiations with Newcastle," said Jonkoping director Daniel Segerfeldt.
