Magpies complete Rozehnal signing

Newcastle have completed the signing of Paris St Germain defender David Rozehnal.

The 26-year-old Czech Republic international costs the club £2.9million, with a further £200,000 following depending on appearances.

The last few days have been busy for Magpies boss Sam Allardyce, who is hoping to persuade Chelsea's Geremi to join Rozehnal on Tyneside.

A statement released to the City by the club's PLC tonight read: "Newcastle United PLC are pleased to announce the finalisation of the transfer of David Rozehnal from Paris Saint Germain for a transfer fee of 4.3million, with a further 0.3million payable contingent on future appearances of the player for Newcastle.

"A maximum of 0.25m (£170,000) may also be payable to PSG if the player registration is sold for more than 5.25million (£3.55million) in the future."
