Newcastle United have won the race to sign highly rated goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen after agreeing a €28.5 million package with Stade de Reims. The 20-year-old, who had attracted interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid, has reportedly signed a four-year deal and is set to join Eddie Howe's side this summer.

French side Reims have experienced a terrifying security breach as a group of armed, hooded individuals stormed the club's training ground to confront the squad. The shocking incident happened in the early hours of Saturday following the team's return from a frustrating Ligue 2 fixture, prompting widespread condemnation from the French footballing community and severe legal action.
