Newcastle's deadline day began with the news that Jacob Murphy could depart on loan to Sheffield Wednesday but it has since sprung to life with the arrival of a new body.

Through the doors of St James' Park has walked right-back Emil Krafth who arrives from Amiens.

The Sweden international has put pen to paper on a four-year contract, becoming their latest permanent addition after Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin were also snapped up.

However, his arrival has caused mixed reactions from the Toon Army who were quick to respond to their new signing on Twitter.

One fan joked that he was the Swedish Cafu whilst another said he looked like a big lad.

The 25-year-old also caused a bit of a stir. A further supporter said signings like this one was why they'd end up playing in the Championship next season. One bemoaned the addition, saying they needed a striker instead.

Krafth arrives for a reported fee of £5m and has been capped 20 times by his country. The defender also appeared at the 2018 World Cup and was in action against England in the quarter-final.

Here's the best of the reaction.
