The Magpies have paid Stoke £5 million for the player

Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United have today announced the signing of the Spanish forward Joselu for three years. The 27 year old who has previously played for Real Madrid, Celta de Vigo, Hoffenheim and Deportivo La Coruña will join Newcastle for £5 million.
“I feel very happy, because I have signed for a very big club. I’m very happy to be part of this club, and so excited,” the forward said. “I’m looking forward to getting to know my teammates, the city, the training ground, the stadium and all the supporters. I’m very happy to be here.”
His new manager added ““We have known Joselu since his days at the Real Madrid academy, and we know that he has the potential to do well for us. He has experience of English football and the Premier League and that was another thing we took into consideration. We think if we can exploit his full potential he will be a good signing for us. He knows and accepts the challenge we've given him at Newcastle United and he's keen to come and fight for a position in the team.”
Newcastle are looking to strengthen their squad following their return to the Premier League and lost 2-0 to Tottenham at the weekend.
