Newcastle have confirmed the signing of midfielder Dan Gosling on a free transfer.
Gosling, who left Everton this summer after they failed to put the offer of a new contract in writing, has agreed a four-year deal at St James' Park.
Gosling told the club's official website: "It's a brilliant move for me. Now that the deal is done, I just can't wait to get started.
"I've played at St James' Park before and know all about the amazing atmosphere. Playing there in a black-and-white shirt is something I've thought about already and it will be a great day when I finally get to walk out in front of 50,000 people.
"The gaffer, Chris Hughton, and all of the lads have been great with me and made me feel really welcome since I arrived and hopefully I can repay the faith they've shown in me."
Hughton added: "He's the right age and the profile that he has is what makes it such an appealing capture for us. He's young but has Premier League experience and he's someone who can continue to develop his game.
"We see him as a high-energy player and a player that can play from box to box, but he's also a young player with experience, so he won't be phased by what is ahead of him."
Gosling, 20, was ruled out for nine months when he suffered a cruciate ligament injury in March and could miss the start of the season.
