'Mini-Rodri' Gonzalez shown he will be loved at Newcastle

Newcastle United reporter at St James' Park Published 24 minutes ago Nico Gonzalez wanted to feel loved. He quickly got his wish at St James' Park on Wednesday night after completing his £52m move from Manchester City .

Newcastle United 's new signing was handed a rapturous welcome before he even kicked a ball for the club as supporters repeatedly chanted his name.

The sight of Gonzalez walking out at the sold-out stadium before the 3-2 win against West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup second round was a welcome one for head coach Matthias Jaissle, who desperately wanted him.
