Striker Joselu has completed a permanent move from Newcastle to Alaves.

The 29-year-old forward has joined the Spanish side for an undisclosed fee, bringing his two-year stay at St. James' Park to an end.

Joselu, who signed for the Magpies from Stoke City in August 2017, scored seven goals in 52 appearances for the club.

His departure further limits Newcastle's forward options.

The club's top scorer last season, Ayoze Perez, who scored 13 goals, joined Leicester in a £30m deal earlier this month.

Salomon Rondon, who scored 12 goals, has returned to West Brom after his loan deal ended.

Newcastle's next highest scorers were defenders Fabian Schar, who scored four goals, and Ciaran Clark, who got three.
