Newcastle has its replacement for Daryl Janmaat, as the Magpies confirmed Wednesday the signing of American international right-back DeAndre Yedlin, just hours after Janmaat completed a move to Watford.

Yedlin, 23, signs a five-year contract with the club after joining for an undisclosed fee from Tottenham, believed to be in the £5-million range.

"Newcastle is such a big and historic club, and I'm excited to have the honour of playing for them. Hopefully I can do great things here," Yedlin said. "I'm excited to learn under Rafa Benitez as well. He has an amazing resume and I know he will help improve me a lot.

"I can't wait to get started."

The young full-back, who boasts nearly unmatched pace, only made one Premier League appearance for Spurs after joining the club following an impressive showing at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Firmly behind Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier, the U.S. international was sent to Sunderland on loan last season, where he impressed in 23 appearances, helping the Black Cats avoid the drop.

Judging by comments from Benitez, it was Yedlin's time at Stadium of Light that convinced Newcastle of his capability to replace Janmaat.

"We have known for a little while of Watford's interest in Daryl Janmaat, so it was important for us to bring in a replacement immediately," the Spanish tactician said.

"In DeAndre we have a player who knows English football well. He has good experience, an attacking mentality, ability and great pace. I think he can do really well for us and will give us good competition on the right."
