Newcastle United confirmed the signing of former Seattle Sounders defender DeAndre Yedlin on Wednesday, moving the Seattle native and former Homegrown star to one of the most well-recognized clubs in England.
Newcastle did not disclose the transfer fee, although it has been reported around £5 million ($6.6M). The Sounders will receive a portion of that compensation money via their initial agreement with Tottenham, which included a sell-on clause in the deal.
The 23-year-old United States international joined Tottenham in early 2015 before spending the 2015-16 English Premier League season on loan to Sunderland. The move to Newcastle is a permanent one.
