Money is flowing freely from the French Riviera as Newcastle United secures the sensational signing of Aladji Bamba from Monaco. According to reports from L'Equipe, the Premier League club paid a staggering 41.5 million euros to complete the permanent transfer of the 20-year-old French-Guinean midfielder.

As part of the lucrative agreement, the Principality club has also secured a 15 percent sell-on clause for any future transfer involving the young prodigy. Bamba has put pen to paper on a five-year contract after being thoroughly convinced by the ambitious project presented by manager Eddie Howe.

Despite featuring in just 25 senior appearances for Monaco following his breakthrough earlier this year, the prodigious talent managed to captivate top scouts across Europe. His rapid rise through the professional ranks has ultimately culminated in a high-profile switch to the English top flight.
