The France Under-18 international arrives at the club on a free transfer after rejecting Sochaux's offer of a contract. Moyo had been linked with moves to Manchester United, Ajax and Bordeaux, but Newcastle have won the race to sign the midfielder. The 18-year-old, who has signed a four-year deal on Tyneside, was named as a substitute during Newcastle reserves' 2-1 win over Wolves. Moyo is expected to stay in the club's reserves so that he can continue his education under the gaze of Peter Beardsley and Steve Stone before pushing for a spot in Chris Hughton's first team.
