Newcastle United's latest summer signing Amar Dedic says it's a "special feeling and a really big honour" to sign for the club. Dedic has joined from Benfica in a deal worth about £30m and he has reunited with boss Matthias Jaissle, who he won the league title with at Red Bull Salzburg. "It's a special feeling and a really big honour for me to join Newcastle United," he said after the move was announced on Tuesday, his 24th birthday.
